No, the reverse. Mozilla opposed Google's original attempt to push JPEG XL years ago, and declined to ship without an implementation that they could confidently say was safe. See https://hacks.mozilla.org/2026/08/intent-to-ship-jpeg-xl/ :
"We added experimental support for JPEG XL behind a flag back in 2021. But, at 100,000 lines of multithreaded C++, we were concerned about the attack surface this added to Firefox. So, we laid down a challenge to the JPEG XL team at Google Research: Build a safe, performant, compact, and compatible JPEG XL decoder in Rust, and we’ll ship it. That challenge was met; Google Research built jxl-rs, and it’s the core of our JPEG XL support in Firefox."
