Correct. I feel Mozilla is starving Firefox and using the money somewhat frivolously.
Mozilla have many interesting projects and several of them may be good, but none of them have had such impact or has such potential for the future as Firefox.
Edit: and I'm willing to pay $10 - $50 a month to someone who will create and maintain a patched version of the latest Firefox that fixes the worst problems like not being able to hide the standard tabs (in addition to any sponsored search deals they may get).
I suspect I'm not alone: for many(most?) of us our browser is one of our most important tools, the other being and IDE, an editor or some graphics tool.
Edit 2: Paid Chromium based doesn't count for me. A major point is to counter the Chrome monoculture.
