Well you typically need standing in order to file a lawsuit, who would do it? Mozilla are probably the only ones. Why would this cause them to do it when past similar practices haven’t?
On what standing though? Mozilla potentially has standing, and if the government finds that google is a monopoly, then the government could have standing, but nobody else.
Users affected by it, Mozilla, any other company that comes to support Mozilla, watchdog groups like the EFF…
It can also be brought by attorneys general and governmental regulators, the FCC and FTC might have a bit to say about it…
Antitrust suits aren’t civil cases, I don’t think, so “having standing” is a bit different
I’m not a lawyer though so I could be way off base, but the antitrust cases I’ve been aware of I don’t think they were brought by companies but by government agencies

Europe will step in as usual
How would Mozilla finance a court case against google though?
Microsoft, Mozilla org, maybe apple
EFF or government

Isn’t Mozilla a non profit? I don’t they can sue for anything along the lines of hurting profits to the company.
Can’t you sue for loss of income regardless?
They do have a for-profit subsidiary that potentially could though
Google funds then I’m pretty sure…
Of course they can. If the word profit is confusing you replace it with returns or finances.
