This is the Mozilla Foundation. They're legally a non-profit, so this isn't supposed to mean that they're reconsidering their stance. They can't do that. It's rather just them saying "shit's hard, yo".

Yes but the for-profit Mozilla corporation will selfishly maintain control of the golden goose to the bitter end, even if they destroy it. They offer no value without Firefox and they know it.
