the idea of putting people before profit feels increasingly radical

What. The. Fuck.

Probably because of the ad corp they bought

Nah it's not news that their ethos has been fading away for a long time now and that Mozilla just really isn't what it used to be a decade ago.

This is the Mozilla Foundation. They're legally a non-profit, so this isn't supposed to mean that they're reconsidering their stance. They can't do that. It's rather just them saying "shit's hard, yo".

The wikimedia foundation as a nice fraction of a billion dollars in stocks in order to not rely on donations

Yes but the for-profit Mozilla corporation will selfishly maintain control of the golden goose to the bitter end, even if they destroy it. They offer no value without Firefox and they know it.
