Curious what others' thoughts are about the monopoly ruling for Google and potential effects on Firefox. Last I knew the fix was not determined yet, but with Firefox's main source of income being from Google paying them to Goolge their default search, makes me wonder if lawsuits like this could actually backfire on current competition and not actually produce a more competitive environment. Not sure how Firefox could recover if the courts ruling would be Google can't make these deals.

Hopefully they downsize, become more lean and focused, and stop paying the CEO millions. I think Mozilla will be fine becse there's plenty of fat to cut. They will surely need to lay off lots of people though. Hopefully their focus of advertising helps them avoid that.
