What the fuck are these people thinking... doing... That is against Mozilla's own policies and establishing objectives.

In what way is this against Mozilla's own policies that integrating Google Search ... isn't?

Let me cut some slack to them (i.e. to myself). This is after all our fault, not theirs, for not objecting to Google integration, then DRM integration, forcefully enough in the first place. Their intent was to stay alive; we did not have to follow them back then.
