At that stage they are not hiding that they are a ads and AI company anymore.

What you gonna do? Go to Google? Mozilla is not allowed to make advertisements (even with the goal of privacy respecting ads), Mozilla is not allowed to get money from Google and Mozilla is not allowed to sell Firefox. These are some of the problems Mozilla is facing. I'm personally not entirely against ads, if its done right (respecting my privacy and not being annoying, also not trying to scam me).

People shit on Mozilla and Firefox, but there is no alternative. Forks off course are alternatives, but without Mozilla's Firefox, there wouldn't be forks. Google, Microsoft and Apple are way, waaay worse.
