1. Rust _is_ helping Firefox development, and is a key part of why Firefox is remaining competitive. And they should have the flexibility to invest back into future R&D, and into supporting the open source projects that they depend on. That's part of what makes Mozilla so great as a company, and why many of us love it.
2. For the paid version that seems fine. But it seems fair that the free version of Firefox needs to be flexible in figuring out how to find sources of revenue. For example, if they pulled the plug on the predefined search engines then Mozilla would be dead pretty soon.
