I am responsible for the Firefox Translation feature (with my dev partner Andre Natal) and I'm proud to have introduced a great "AI" feature. Firefox Translation is powered by small language models (and a transformer architecture) that gives you 100% local translation with a minimal of hassle. It's the opposite of AI-hype and when I was at Mozilla building this, everyone was on the same page as me with using AI only where appropriate and not as a hype mechanism. I left Mozilla about a year ago so perhaps things have changed, but IMO you don't have to worry about Mozilla treating AI as $$$ (mostly because it's actually a huge cost center, I couldn't even get budget to train up beyond about 10 languages when Firefox is available in 100 languages.)
