Mozilla is, but I don't think they get a lot of funding for being progressive. The activists they're trying to appeal to don't give a shit about privacy or a free and open web, and Mozilla will never be as progressive or valuable to them as Google is.
That's why I think their progressive posturing only hurts them, financially. A lot of the people who might be interested in donating to Mozilla out of a desire to oppose Google are turned away by their political leanings. But I doubt Mozilla will change - the actual programmers might not spend a lot of time on progressive activism, but the upper echelons and HR have been completely taken over.
If I were a betting man, my money would rather be on "for insufficiently vocal support for BLM". Mozilla is converged as fuck.
