Which is also based entirely on their market dominance. I'm 100% convinced Google continues handing millions of dollars a year to Mozilla so Google can point at Firefox as competition when the regulators come knocking.

Google can't allow Firefox to die because it would raise questions about Google's own funding of Chrome.
