Mozilla exists because Google gives them billions to keep Google as default search engine.

  And to keep around a concurrent browser with full adblock abilities so they can cripple their own without too much of an outcry.

  Do you think Firefox development is unsustainable without this substantial stipend?

    At their current trajectory, absolutely. But if they focused their development efforts, cut down on careless spending especially to third parties, and looked for alternative sources of funding (it is presently not possible for users to donate to Firefox development, for example), I feel like they could survive without Google for at least a little while. Frankly, I think these things should be started on now, while they still have Google's backing.
