  Selling it means receiving money for it. Mozilla without Google support, which at that point would be lacking, wouldn’t have the means.

    They could sell it for $1 if they wanted to.

    Also I think Mozilla is self sustainable from investment income from its endowment. Could be wrong.

      I’ve been worried about this. I figured that Mozilla is funded by Google (so they can say that they’ve taken steps to avoid the perception that they are a Browser monopoly). Would Mozilla lose their funding of Google no longer has that Browser monopoly?

        I meant that they no longer need Google’s funding, however if Chrome becomes Mozilla, Google would have a real need to pay Mozilla to stay the default engine in Chrome.

    Nor the desire, I would think.

      Well, you could dismantle it. I also don’t know if in such a sale all product-related patents follow.
