Yes you can.

You have to release the changes to the sources you received, any separate
files that you create need not be under the MPL licence.

You can certainly sell services, means of distribution. You can have a
proprietary bundle of your own code and sell that.

The salient one is that you can combine NPL and MPL code with third party
licenced code on a file basis. The GPL licence covers the whole work, so
including any additional work with a work licenced under the GPL covers
that as well.
