Has Mozilla ever made any serious attempt at technical contributions to crypto?

What do you mean by crypto? I think we do lots of interesting work in that area. Heck, our CTO was the editor of the RFC for TLS 1.3.

(Disclosure: I work for Mozilla but only ever tangentially on this)

Oh yeah.. Ekr... on whose watch Moz couldn't even keep up a functioning cert chain for Addons.
Tangentially related: after they canned Brendan Eich he started Brave.
FF was also pretty involved with DoH and ESNI (now ECH).
