I like the article but you state: "The nonprofit has no direct relationship with advertisers; it gets a small sum from search providers like Google and Bing when a search is conducted through their sites using a Firefox product." Last I checked that was the bulk of their income!

Both Google and Bing are ad-driven, so the overwhelming majority of Firefox's income is just one step removed from ads. They do have incentives not to upset those two customers. (I'm still a happy user, just doubtful of that argument.)
