Not really

They create 100 random things no one wanted and then offered then mostly for free. They have a massive management problem. I think the biggest issue is how risk adverse they are. They don't want to take big risks so they instead take a bunch of small useful risks that fail. They need to start something and then commit. Also baking more things into Firefox is not the way forward. They need stuff that is separate and useful.

they tried a bucnh of paid services, like their vpn, email alias and data broker remover.

Do you think you can come up with a better idea?

Why not ask the CEO of Mozilla? They're paid to have all the smart ideas, allegedly.
