After thinking through this, what part of the title is confusing in your opinion? It says exactly what is happening. The title you suggest is not really different.

Slightly confusing title here. A less confusing title would be “Mozilla drops support for Mercurial, moves Firefox repository to GitHub”.

It’s not even about GitHub at all. Taken straight out of the announcement:

But a few lines later:
So I don’t know if you meant that the focus of the change wasn’t GH or that they weren’t using GH at all, but it seems like the latter is untrue.

They are dropping Mercurial and focusing on Git. Incidentally, they host the Git project on GitHub. GitHub is used for hosting, and they don’t even use basic features such as pull requests.
Again, this is really not about GitHub at all.

It’s the same as with the Linux kernel GitHub mirror.
