Are you saying their governance is worse than Wordpress.org amid this giant fiasco?
Mozilla Corporation is the one receiving the hundreds of millions of dollars from Google that funds almost all the the development of the Firefox browser. Without it, Mozilla would be a tiny fraction of what it is now and FF would be dead in the water.
This is entirely orthogonal from the community. It's an IRS requirement.

How do you know? I mean sure if the Mozilla Foundatio wouldn't have bothered with any alternative fundraising opportunities, but that's not exactly a realistic alternative realtity, is it?

FF is dead in the water. It's market share is small enough that devs don't care about it anymore and it doesn't really provide any real advantages to users unless you really care about telemetry data going to Mozilla instead of Google. Mozilla has don't pretty much all it can to kill any kind of differentiation while refusing to innovate at all.
Are these supposed to be examples of how this kind of setup turns out well for the community? Because they are the opposite.
