Get your facts right.
Mozilla Corporate receives 400mil a year from Google, for google search to be the default search engine. The engineering costs of Mozilla in 2020 were about 300mil. [0]
So in actual fact you could maintain the not-for-profit status, fire all the corporate staff and still sit on a trove of cash every year.
The google money will not dry out because it is the only CYA situation that Google has against an anti-trust case on Chrome.
There is absolutely no reason Mozilla could not maintain the not-for-profit status and tick along, like other foundations such as Linux, Gnome, Apache, etc.
