Mozilla currently cares more about surviving than its main mission. And yes, it can't accomplish its mission if it dies, but don't they understand? If Mozilla falls, another will take its place.

The way to kill Mozilla is from the inside: to quash its soul.

In the open market, any organization that doesn't cares more about its survival than its mission will eventually be replaced by one that does. This is fundamental to the definition of "survival".

The one that will take its place will be an organization that prioritizes survival, not its mission.

Organisations are made of people. There are enough people who care about Mozilla's mission that they'd do the things even if Mozilla didn't, and if they got together they could get at least 10% of the funding from non-Google people who currently donate to Mozilla, if Mozilla ceased to exist.

The only real downside is that they wouldn't have a seat on the WHATWG.

Yes, another chrome skin perhaps?
