Mozilla is a political organisation. Aside from the fact that developing free, privacy-focused software is an inherently political thing to do, they have the Mozilla Manifesto[0], which states (the relevant bits here being singled out):

> The Internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible.

> Individuals’ security and privacy on the Internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional.

> We will [...] use the Mozilla assets (intellectual property such as copyrights and trademarks, infrastructure, funds, and reputation) to keep the Internet an open platform [and] promote the Mozilla Manifesto principles in public discourse and within the Internet industry.
