Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What's next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type "McDonald's" before I can actually navigate there?

Their profit motive is capped by their only shareholder being a non-profit.

Again, not really. Mozilla wants to bring in as much money as they can. They are really bad at actually making useful products but that's a separate issue.

Whether it's for profit or charity. It can't accomplish its goals without financing.
