Mozilla should expect that CAs will do nothing when they find out that a
TLS/SSL certificate that they issued is being used to do "bad things" (for
values of "bad things" that do not subvert the PKI ecosystem itself).  The
purpose of a CA is to attest as to *identity*, not *activity*.  We have
other, more effective, mechanisms for dealing with bad actors.
