> At some point, though, Enzor-DeMeo will have to tend to Mozilla’s own business. “I do think we need revenue diversification away from Google,” he says, “but I don’t necessarily believe we need revenue diversification away from the browser.”

So they want to monetize the browser somehow outside of the Google deal. Future does't look good for Firefox

I really think they should look into B2B products with a strong synergy with the browser. Some example ideas:

- password manager with team and enterprise features that natively integrates with the built in firefox password manager

- hosted private addon store that gives employers more control over what plugins employees install, and can easily host internal addons

- enterprise grade "zero trust" solution with native browser support.

- related to the above, something like Mozilla VPN, but for connecting to a corporate network, possibly with split tunnel features.

Etc.
