You know how Mozilla makes their money, right? https://www.google.com/search?q=ok&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a https://www.google.com/search

  and? are you suggesting that google, by some logical extension, is influencing mozilla's privacy decisions in their OS? 18% of internet users use firefox. thats a lot of eyeballs google would be missing out on without the search deal in place. they gets much more out of that arrangement than mozilla does to have any leverage. MS would be equally happy to pay mozilla for that 18%. moz can easily find many other avenues to make money while goog cannot find an extra 18% user base elsewhere.
