I don't see why you're getting downvoted. You're 100% right. Mozilla get money from Google and spend it on fun projects which have nothing to do with the web. This creates some very bad incentives with regard to privacy on the net. Mozilla don't seem to care about this, they just take the money and keep going.

Mozilla particularly has really bad suit-dominant administration. Brendan Eich is here on HN. He can explain better.

I'm bound by various NDAs that do not expire upon my exit so I won't say anything that isn't already public. Sorry.

Because there are some people here which work in "user data industry".

Bad for you. Good for them (for the moment). They (the people who work there) will maybe regret it. But as Stasi or NSA showed there will be no discrimination in the usage of this data.
