>its a Google problem and not much Mozilla can do about it.

What they can do about it is complain loudly and publicly to try and force Google to stop their shitty behaviour. The same way they engaged in PR campaigns about Firefox not being allowed on iOS or H264 requiring patent licences, or dozens of other topics.

>Why in the hell would mozilla be pushing this as PR?

Because that seems to be the only solution left open to them to try and stop millions of users of their software being infected with malware. Are you saying that Mozilla should only talk to the media when it is about ideological political things like software patents, and not about real world threats to their users?

'this' meant the story about Dell 'selling' Firefox, which will probably end up as a bit of a shitty thing to do but likely within their rights. You seem to have reached a confusing conclusion that this is out the the Mozilla PR machine.
