Firefox, with its full complement of full-time developers, could stay alive with a tiny fraction of what Mozilla earns in a year. Most of Mozilla's work is tangential to Firefox at best.

Surely there's space in the browser market for a model akin more to how Wikipedia operates.

OK so you do want a business model, it's just a terrible one.

Sounds better than a black-hole cryptocurrency where the devs steal 30% of your transaction 'because they can'

This is part of the problem. Mozilla is diverging too much into dead ends. Instead of focusing on what they do best, Firefox.
