Mozilla is in a tight spot where they want to separate themselves from Google's funding, but to do that they need to make money.
They have a user base that is very difficult to monetize.
Which means the user base which cares about privacy has put themselves in a position where they will now lose privacy in order for the tools they use to continue existing.
It's a shitty situation all around.
Mozilla has plenty of money but they are spending it on weird side projects.Then they pretend they don't have enough money and add need to start selling user data to make up for it.
