This is an interesting statement.  What you're saying is: Mozilla is 
choosing to eat.  In other words, they're choosing to continue as an 
organisation that pursues market share in order to receive millions of 
dollars from Google every year, rather than stick by their principles 
and risk a lower market share and no millions of dollars.

That's fine, they're within their rights to continue pursuing their 
millions of dollars and maintaining their organisation.  But they can't 
then pretend that the organisation has principles.

You can't give up your principles as soon as they threaten your 
existence.  If you do, they were never principles in the first place.
