Mozilla Has Been Sharing Aggregated Firefox Data With Advertisers Since 2017, When it Enabled Telemetry by Default (www.quippd.com)

TL;DR: With Firefox 56, Mozilla combined Firefox Health Report and Telemetry data into a single setting called “technical and interaction data”, which was then enabled by default. This data was then shared with advertising partners on a de-identified or aggregated basis.

right?!? Just go to Firefox Data Collection and Use, and decide if you want to unclick "Allow Firfox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla". nbd

But that's a looooooooot of work, though. Like I did it a long time ago, but my hand muscles still hurt all these years later. :(
