Even if the article doesn't cover everything, it's a good reading.

Mozilla is an interesting case because it's privileged by its foundation ("non-profit") status. Such incorporations are granted various tax breaks, by laws originally aimed at favoring charities and churches over apparently evil, parasitic profiteers.

The big catch is that the goals of the Mozilla Foundation, that make it eligible for a favorable tax status, translate exclusively into promoting its own products. BTW it could be argued that this catch applies to every non-profit organization, including churches and charities.
