Linux Mint puts out a great OS for a few thousand per month. With the start it's got, Firefox could go on for decades without more income.

Mint is based on Ubuntu which in turn based on Debian.

Mint is neither developing OS, or Linux kernel from scratch.

On the other hand, Mozilla is maintaining Firefox browser and most importantly Gecko JS engine all by itself.
