Their latest 2023 results, shows Mozilla still has enough revenue to do something [1]:

  - Total revenue: $653 million
  - Revenue from Google 85% ($555 million)
  - Total expenses $496 million (Software Development Expenses $260 million)
But even after spending 1/2 Billion annually I'm not expecting them to regain relevance. They'll likely keep the existing board until the money runs dry, axe more technical talent and promising projects.

TIL that only half of the Firefox expenses are used on software development in a broader sense.

And even that is optimistic, since it probably includes all the side quests not related to the browser core engine that has bugs and performance issues that are not fixed for years.
