Facebook's business model is to manipulate and study us for profit. It's like a tobacco company. If facebook collect less data or no data, their business will collapse. The interests of facebook are opposed to the interests of the people. There's no way for them to become ethical because their model is based on something completely unethical.
The only impact mozilla can have on facebook is to make sure that more people feel comfortable using facebook. This is done through their association with Mozilla and the creation and adoption of new orwellian terms.
In other words, Mozilla is enabling Facebook. This is hideous.
Not likely. Facebook would have done this with or without Mozilla (also the proposal is made by facebook/mozilla, but it's for everyone), so Mozilla serves the part of the guiding hand.
