Now that Google isn’t allowed to pay them default search engine money, I think this was expected.
Ideologically I think it’s a good thing the US government is challenging Google’s monopolistic practices. Unfortunately, that money was a massive percentage of Mozilla’s income.
It really was short-sighted of them to put so many eggs into one basket.
This is the Mozilla foundation, not the Mozilla corp. The latter has the deal with Google; the former couldn't make that deal even if they wanted to.
