How much would you and or your company be willing to fund Mozilla should it need to become independent of Google?

Many people want to donate to Firefox exclusively but you can forget about that. Mozilla will not carve out Firefox because it's the only reason that the mother org gets half a billion of free money from Google.

Carving out Firefox means Mozilla is dissolved as none of their other activities make any money.

Wouldn’t that require breaking the financial isolation between the corporation’s revenue and the nonprofit foundation’s donations? If they did that, I thought it would lead to the foundation’s non-profit status being revoked by the IRS.
