very deceptive title from the source author. OP please insert [, the privacy partner, Onerep's ] in place of "its" to make it clear Mozilla didn't do anything wrong here.

Mozilla could do something wrong, but I entirely read this as Mozilla's CEO had ties to data brokers and ditched Mozilla's privacy partner because of that.

I'm not a native speaker, but the right meaning is the one that came to mind reading this title.

I think context makes it clear, and the most likely meaning. If it was Firefoxs CEO the one at fault, I would think it's a ver weird way of saying it.

But I also see people saying this is why Firefox is the worst and I'm not sure I got it right by accident, people have low reading comprehension or just a massive bias.

I am a native english speaker and the headline absolutely makes sense and is clearly worded, some people just dont think about what they are reading and gloss over it.

yea "their" instead of "it's" imo would be a little clearer but it still makes sense
