You are being downvoted, but are not wrong. A lot of people confuse Mozilla the foundation with Mozilla the corporation, which is the profit seeking branch and the entity which holds the IP. They are different utilities with different goals. They hold similar contracts with Google and you would all do well to at very least become aware of their financial prospectus.

Which is why I insist on running my own fork off FF, stripping and adding stuff as I see fit, and compiling it myself.
Those who don't are subjected to the whims of either the foundation or corproation of Mozilla.
Mozilla introduce a privacy feature in a free, open-source browser. Comcast bitches about it because it prevents them from doing shenanigans, essentially incriminating themselves and proving that the feature is both working as expected and necessary.
Why does Mozilla need to care about Comcast's opinion on this, and try to work out an "agreement" with them? It's equivalent to antivirus software actually working, and then the antivirus developer does a deal with the virus makers because the antivirus is actually effective and the virus makers are complaining.
I am really disappointed in Mozilla's recent features, poor focus and nonsensical management.
