Apparently under California law by passing metadata around search to Google could possibly be considered data transfer since they get a kickback from Google. I say that's horseshit, and if your lawyers are so worried about CA sueing Mozilla over such a technicality then you have some chicken shit lawyers.

Either way, for how horribly they managed this whole thing I'm out. Their legal and marketing teams all shit the bed on this one. How did anyone there think "yeah we're just going to roll out that we actually do sell your data, and oh yeah also you can't watch porn in our browser, people will be chill about that"
