Under US tax law, they cannot legally spend tax-exempt donated funds on the development of a for-profit product.

Yes, but that does not prevent them from spending it on some other 'priority', pet project, administration or whatever else might cross their mind other than Firefox Development.
IDK what are their actual intentions, and they might be 100% focused on FF dev, but nothing in the tax law keeps them on that focus.
