I think a point of confusion here is that there are different definitions of "failure" in this discussion. Others in this thread are defining failure as "Firefox no longer exists as a viable open-source browser", whereas you seem to be defining failure as "Mozilla no longer exists as a commercial organization". Diversification of Mozilla's focus is all well and good, so long as it continues to serve what I and evidently others see as its raison d'etre, which is to support Firefox. It may be insensitive of me to say so in this difficult time for Mozillians, and I certainly hope everyone caught up in this restructuring ends up all right, but I see no reason why Mozilla should outlive Firefox in the event that, as you suggest, it is doomed to failure.
