Good reputations are hard to gain and easily lost, we shouldn't forget how we got to the sorry current state of the web and Mozillas mistakes are a large part of how that happened. Had mozilla not pissed away market share while they rewrote things in rust, broke extensions, built a horrible UI, etc, then they would have had enough weight to do things look push back against DRM.

Obviously having a spyware company like google control the web is a bad thing, but that doesn't make mozilla good, they've been poor stewards for a long time and we should be looking toward others, the pale moon fork to name one example.
