Mozilla's not exactly short on funds. They take in at least $500,000,000 every year.

AFAIK, from reading the annual reports years ago, this nice sum of money belongs to Mozilla Foundation, the non-profit that works on making a better web. Mozilla Corporation, the for-profit entity that makes Firefox, doesn’t seem to have as much as it needs. Hence MDN Plus, Mozilla VPN, and other services.

That's their choice, nobody forced them to implement that corporate structure and they can decide to deconstruct it any time.

Google pays Mozilla for default search engine selection in Firefox, no other product. If Mozilla then redirect that money to other non-Firefox ventures then maybe they should explain why.

And it probably costs something like 80% of that to build and maintain a browser and they probably spend less than Google.
