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.

They would have to avoid paying their exec 25M$ a year, that would be a good thing imo
People have rightly said that their executives are overpaid. However it's unclear what revenue streams they have. In terms of user services they sell a VPN. I think that's about it. That's not going to cut it even if they do lay off tons of people.
Browsers are complicated pieces of software and there needs to be a lot of money behind them if they're going to succeed.
Whilst I'd like to see some kind of revival, or even revolution, in the browser market here - it does look as if Mozilla are setting out a future business plan which simply does not include Firefox... and if Firefox dips below 2% it will be sidelined as an alternative browser no longer supported.
