Revenue is secured. They have another deal with Google worth ~500M a year for the next few years.

Mozilla can use the internet and spend their billions on young third-world talents and offer them a job that educates them in web- and browser development. They only have to be in the bay area if they want copying Google to be their number one priority.
There could be thousands of engineers working on Firefox and servo with the benefit that
1) they would develop content that would be guaranteed to work on Firefox and secure Mozilla's position. They would have a path to a growing user base that would lead to an even bigger Google income.
2) there would be a career path without the need for immigration for third world talent, which would end colonial economy dependencies and make the world a better place.
With such an engineering force, they could enter plenty of markets and won't depend on the Google money in the future.
The good thing is, Firefox and Servo is open source. If Mozilla doesn't want to do it, some other player can.
I don’t see how this helps Firefox Users.
Also helps with an anti-trust case.
