Mozilla [is] asking for user data in order to operate Firefox
I’m confused. Isn’t Firefox an autonomous application? Like it could be “programmed” to do stuff without asking Mozilla every time? Why am I not operating Firefox, why is it Mozilla?
Some people don’t care about that stuff, and it’s their right to be as private (or not) as they choose. They can’t make informed decisions, however, if companies don’t tell them what they’re doing with user data.
Call me when they remove it.

Yeah, that is what I feel is way too dishonest.
Be upfront about it.
"To offset some operating expenses, Mozilla will be collecting user data from Firefox users, this includes the following:
This data will be used to train AI computer models.
To disable this feature, go into settings, click the User Data tab, under the Privacy title, untick
Send user data to Mozilla."
Bam, transparency.
being opt-out is still bad, but at least it would be a bit more honest.

Yep, I agree fully, I just want honesty
