> it does not assign copyright to Mozilla

This is common to many CLAs (sane ones, at least). The Go CLA (really the Google CLA[1]) also does not assign copyright to the Go project, it gives them a license to "reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your Contributions and such derivative works"

CLA = Contributor License Agreement

No license agreement should be assigning copyright.

IE All CLA's should be licenses, not assignments.

Any project with a copyright assignment doesn't have a CLA, they have a copyright assignment. :)
