Except of course that there is no such thing as "the firefox foundation". There's the Mozilla Foundation, the non-profit that works with lots of people and other organizations, both online and offline, on programs and projects that line up with the Mozilla manifesto. Stuff like this Buyer's Guide is what the foundation has always been about.
What it doesn't do is "make Firefox"; it never has.
There's the Mozilla Corporation (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/moco/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/moco/), which makes products, like Firefox, and then there's the Mozilla Foundation (https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/about/ https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/about/), which is all about furthering the Mozilla mission, not making products.
And of course, most news articles completely gloss over the fact that they're not the same thing, and just call everything both organizations do as something "Mozilla" does, so if this is the first time your hearing about the fact that there's TWO organizations, not just one: now you know.
