If Bing pays them more I say do it. Most power users swap the default anyways and Firefox can use the funding. I can’t see Bing being anymore toxic than Google so it feels like a lateral move.
A big chunk of those users probably don’t care or notice if they use google or bing- and they probably shouldn’t. Also I think the number of “normies” still using Firefox is dwindling to nothing anyway.
Yes, Google is the default, what i say is that, as many normies do not change the defaults, they may dumb firefox and switch to chrome just to use google, that is a situation FF has being dealing with for a while.

Problem is. Normies are willing to change to chrome to use Google instead of changing the default search engine.
The outrage over paper straws has shown us that most consumers are not willing to sacrifice ANY personal convenience for any sort of greater good.

I think google IS the default search engine in FF…at least last time I updated my settings it was…I had to specifically change that.

Agreed. In the end I’m going to use neither Google nor Bing, so I don’t really care either way. If it helps Mozilla though, they should go for it.
