I don't think that's a good tactic. Google and other ad companies have plenty of money to spread disinformation against Mozilla, if they wanted to.

If Mozilla's users are saying “yes, this is good; please do more”, Mozilla can use that as a defence against any resistance from advertisers.

Then it would be better if Mozilla remains closer to neutral but leaves maximum space to the user for custom configurations, maybe using extensions.
