  @nixCraft Mozilla has been in increasingly shaky financial shape, and its moves to diversify (privacy subscriptions, white label VPN, buying and running the Pocket service, etc) haven’t moved the needle.
  No need to speculate on Google doing a single thing. Mozilla’s management is simply trying to reduce costs and stop the red ink.
