It's also a bad idea because Mozilla Firefox has less users every year, and currently floats at about 3.5% marketshare, give-or-take .5% by source and margin of error. Also, ~90% of their income is from Google, for being the default search engine (an obvious conflict-of-interest they are unable to resolve). Of course, when you are relying on Google to keep the lights on, it's probably not the best idea to give your CEO over $5.5 million / yr. compensation [1], one of the highest paid nonprofit CEOs in the US. It's also probably not the best idea to focus on advocacy instead of trying to make the core product more competitive. Otherwise, one morning Google might just decide that it's too insignificant a market share to matter, or decide that Firefox is finally small enough they can finally kill it without upsetting regulators, and Mozilla would be dead overnight.
