No they don't. They just have a proven record of not being good at exploiting the massive amount of surveillance data they collect.

Anyone who thinks Mozilla is on the side of the user in privacy matters should start by asking why they support the beacon API.

You could probably say the same about Apple - iAd was pretty intrusive in terms of the amount of data it collected, especially compared to what Apple allowed from third-party ad platforms at the time, but they failed to make a business out of it.
