Just about the title question. Google has now legally been declared a monopoly so they no longer have a reason to be paying Mozilla. And Mozilla never had to slut themselves (and us) for Google in the first place.

I hope whatever remedies the court decides upon to weaken Google's monopoly end up helping Firefox, otherwise it's just making Google a bigger monopoly. But this case was mostly about search, and I don't really trust the Justice Department or the courts to be this keenly aware of the state of web browsers.
