    I think there’s a difference between “operate Firefox” and “continue to develop Firefox”.

    because while operating firefox costs no money (the software runs on my hardware), developing firefox does cost money (mozilla has to pay employees, …). so, selling your data might be necessary to make mozilla money sothat they can pay their employees, but it’s not necessary for “operate Firefox”.
