In theory, this would be true. But in Mozilla's case, "reinvesting into its employees" means giving the CEO a pay raise in the same year they did huge layoffs. They may be not-for-profit on paper, but the actions from their execs are exactly the same as you'd see from any other for-profit corp. Being not-for-profit is just an excuse for shitty business practices and doesn't change anything in any significant way, imo.
