It is for the users. You have to make money somehow. And Mozilla is trying to do so while still maintaining respect for the user. If Mozilla didn't care about the user, they could throw in an Ask toolbar. Or add a PPI offer to the installer (which can pay $1 and up per install). Google makes a ton of money off their ad network to fund Chrome and then tracks all user typing in the URL/search bar by default. [This is proven and factual, but Chrome fanboys will downvote you on HN every time you state it.] Mozilla doesn't have that luxury.
