> Awesome, so you sponsored them right? Why bother sponsoring any open source projects when they can throw a few extra million into their CEO's salary, while that CEO is running their flagship product (Firefox) into the ground?

When I asked about financial support, the Senior Principal Software Engineer from Mozilla I talked to said "Mozilla has no money". To be fair, we've gotten a great amount of code contributions from the Mozilla folks, so it's not like they haven't contributed anything. (I am one of the Quinn maintainers.)

  It is true, Mozilla has no money (except for paying execs)
