Mozilla's track record of software that aligns with FLOSS principles makes me trust them when they release new software which they claim aligns with FLOSS principles.
But if Mozilla engages in what you call "suspicious behavior," it seems like a bad idea to assume that it's ok because of Mozilla's track record. In fact, I'd go in the other direction and say that suspicious behavior from Mozilla is enough of an anomaly that you should pay more attention to it, not less.
