The GNU folks clearly state that they are compatible:

<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#MPL-2.0>

The reason appears to be that the MPLv2 *specifically* grants compatibility 
with the GPLv2+ as a part of its terms, whereas the APL does not.

<https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/>, see section 1.12
