It's not quite exact just based on the article body. It says:
> Mehta even appeared briefly confused by some of the references to today's tech, unable to keep straight if Mozilla was a browser or a search engine.
It's not implausible to be confused about what Mozilla is. There is Mozilla Foundation, Mozilla Corporation, and even Mozilla China. Then, there was Mozilla Suite which had a "Navigator": Mozilla's browser. Then the browser was named Phoenix. Now it is Firefox, or more correctly "Mozilla Firefox".
Granted, it still bad that the judge deciding such things couldn't learn enough of a background there to keep things straight, but it's also not exactly what the title describes either. So feels a little click-bait-y.
- TrueGeek 3y agoOn "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" this weekend they described Mozilla as "a security research firm". Which, in the context it was given (the Mozilla Foundation report on car privacy) isn't wrong. But it can also be confusing for people / judges who may be thinking "Wait? I thought that was a search engine?"
