Why is Mozilla using a proprietary moz- CSS property? Wouldn't it be easier, for them, to just begin supporting CSS3 properties? Is it because they don't properly implement the CSS3 border-radius?

No, it is because the CSS3 spec is still a moving target. It is not correct to implement the property without the prefix while the spec is still in development, because if the spec draft changes, the browser suddenly is appearing to implement the specified property, but would in fact be implementing an outdated version.

On the other hand, it is good to have a vendor implement a spec-in-progress to prove that the spec itself is intelligible and implementable. That helps the whole community. Once the spec stabilizes, the vendor can simply remove the prefix.

Mozilla is doing this in exactly the correct way.
