https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Roadmap has a number of features/enhancements that we're adding to the browser. Social API just got released with Firefox 17 Beta 2, for example.

1. I think our competition/cooperation with google and other venrods is usually pretty friendly. There's a lot of borrowing/reuse that takes place in the browser market, and since we're in it for the good of the user, anything that helps that is great in our book. There will of course be times when we have differing opinions on the best way to implement something (and we're very motivated by the privacy, security, and control of the user over his/her own web experience), but that's a difference of opinion, not a catfight.

2. Mostly the Corporation makes its revenue through contracts with search vendors (when you search from Firefox, we get a small portion of that revenue from the search engine you use). The Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organization that's funded by donations.

3. As for FB, I mentioned in a comment above that we've just added social API into Firefox 17 Beta 2. http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/mozilla-begins-firefox-social-api-testing.html Check it out!

http://www.technobuffalo.com/internet/how-does-the-mozilla-foundation-make-money/ is a bit old, but the information is pretty much the same. The majority of revenue for Mozilla Corporation (not to be confused with the Mozilla Foundation) comes from contracts with various search vendors. Mozilla Foundation is funded by donations.
