      Not really

      They create 100 random things no one wanted and then offered then mostly for free. They have a massive management problem. I think the biggest issue is how risk adverse they are.

Also baking more things into Firefox is not the way forward. They need stuff that is separate and useful.

          #Mozilla Foundation can disband Mozilla Corporation if it’s not bringing in the revenue to justify a taxable subsidiary. Then they can decide which entity is best positioned to manage the Firefox code base and ensure that
