Presumably they also have a veto, at least, on Firefox development as they're paying handsomely for it?

Yes, and you think Google will keep paying regardless of how they develop? If there's not review system in place then Google must be extremely poor at negotiating contracts and conducting business relationships. Similarly Mozilla probably would be reckless to not even know that a change would cause their primary source of income (100s of millions $USD) to stop.
