When? It's not pragmatism anymore, it has become pure laziness on the part of Mozilla. They have been accepting this business model (being fed by the hand of Google) forever now, instead of seriously trying to achieve financial autonomy. They have lost all credibility if they compromise on that front - it's such a huge conflict of interest.
