Given his comment i can say he works for Mozilla or worked for Mozilla or have good contacts there. What he wrote is 100% truth as far as I'm concerned. (i have good friends at Mozilla myself and that echo their exact words from 3 y ago)

Funnily there's noone who actually can be verified as a Mozillian to back it up, heh. Would be hard given that it contains several nonsensical statements. Why on earth would Google care whether Mozilla is profitable? Are there really a lot of people that thought Firefox OS would generate significant income in one of the most competitive markets so fast (I'm sure some people wished, but realistically)? And you honestly don't understand that modally forcing a search provider choice on first run drives nontechnical users away?
Oh hey a throwaway account, what a coincidence.
I'm calling bullshit on this one. Totaly, utter, bullshit.
You'll notice my own account isnt throw away.
Frankly, I doubt it, and I work at Mozilla.
