That is exactly the point :) Why should other companies which I don't have any relation with know WHERE and WHEN I logged in?

I guess that if I stopped trusting Mozilla I would have to switch browser. ALL of my online information is typed on a browser programmed by Mozilla. Compared to that, only a small portion of the information is in the hands of Google (and that is why I deliberately don't use Chrome) Regardless of who is involved, it appears to me that the BrowserID model preserves more your online privacy than the OpenID model...
