I keep a close eye on the job listings posted to Mozilla's job board. They don't post new job openings very often, so I always want to be tuned in when new listing pop up. All of a sudden, a lot of new job openings have appeared for a company that just laid off 36 people...

Those are job postings at the for-profit Mozilla Corporation, the layoffs happened at the non-profit Mozilla Foundation.
They're theoretically connected, in that the Corporation is a subsidiary of the Foundation, but to my knowledge, they practically don't hand money from the Foundation to the Corporation, because the Corporation has magnitudes more money anyways.
