>The fact they have significantly more than 250 employees in the first place is a bit mind boggling. As far as I can tell most of the spending is unrelated to Firefox. What do all of these people do and why are they needed?

I sometimes have the same reaction when learning the number of people employed for what I would have otherwise thought to be some meager thing. Then I get reminded about the folks over in external/internal support; marketing; design; IT/infrastructure; legal; compliance; etc.

Here's Mozilla's listing:

I understand there are a lot of roles needed for non-trivial organizations to function, but Mozilla has over 1000 employees and, in my opinion, does not deliver a corresponding level of value. I would actually donate if I could be sure my money is going to Firefox. I do not care about any of their other initiatives.

Without Mozilla documentation on web standards, there won’t be much of an open web left.

That’s the bulk of the team that got layed off, by the way. I think there was some last-ditch effort that was able to preserve the MDN efforts.
