Firefox on the Brink: Could Antitrust Action Kill the Browser?

Mozilla CFO Eric Muhlheim testified that implementing the Department of Justice's proposals to curb Google's search monopoly could put Firefox out of business. Google's deal to be Firefox's default search engine accounts for roughly 85% of Mozilla's revenue. Losing this revenue would force significant cuts and could lead to Firefox's demise. Muhlheim argued that while the DOJ aims to foster competition, the short-term impact could be devastating for Firefox, potentially even strengthening Google's dominance.
