Google forcing Firefox to do such a move sounds very anti-competitive. I don't know if that would ever happen.

Google pays Firefox hundreds of millions of dollars a year to be their default search engine. In 2021, this accounted for 83% of Mozilla's revenue.

They don't! Mozilla "by themselves" just "agrees" that MV2 is obsolete because they "prioritize security".
