The irony there is that 80% - 90% of Mozilla's revenue comes from the deal with Google to make it the default search, so the incentives for Firefox to keep Google off your back are not there. Supposedly, the deal between Google and Mozilla is about to expire and the Mozilla execs are very worried that the money will go away. That would devastate Mozilla overall (huge downsizing coming). Unfortunately, they have never really found a way to diversify their revenue mix and nobody pays for browsers. In fact, the typical sources of funding (ads, etc.) are all the things that people are trying to block.Firefox with uMatrix will show you just how often Google looks at you online.
