I believe Mozilla's funding comes from the search team at Google, not the browser team. (It's nominally compensation for including Google as the default search engine.) If anything, I'd be more concerned about Chrome, since it might be difficult for Google Search to fund Google Chrome to its current levels without raising arm's-length concerns (i.e. "is this a bona fide payment for services rendered?").
good, as long as chrome has such an overwhelming marketshare, reducing its funding sounds like a good idea. the companies that build on chrome can contribute to the funding to keep chrome alive.
