>The fact they have significantly more than 250 employees in the first place is a bit mind boggling. As far as I can tell most of the spending is unrelated to Firefox. What do all of these people do and why are they needed?
I sometimes have the same reaction when learning the number of people employed for what I would have otherwise thought to be some meager thing. Then I get reminded about the folks over in external/internal support; marketing; design; IT/infrastructure; legal; compliance; etc.

I would actually donate if I could be sure my money is going to Firefox. I do not care about any of their other initiatives.
