Mozilla is independent. All the search deal really is is that Mozilla sets a default option to point to Google's URL and not another. In exchange, Mozilla gets millions of dollars.

The reality is that the majority of users would choose Google even if it wasn't the default. So Mozilla is both providing the most popular option as the default and benefitting from it.

Anyone who doesn't trust Google, such as me and presumably you, have the freedom to change the default.
