They've admitted to it in their github. It even happens when you've changed the default search engine, and set the new tab to about:blank.

Why do people keep acting like firefox is a privacy respecting browser?
It may be true that browsing about:addons (as described in the cited source) pings Google analytics (untested by me), but the source bug report also links to this description of legal contracts between Mozilla and Google that clearly show that Google is prevented from mining or sharing this data. Google may stil have access to the data (couldn't find a reference), but I'm sure UBO has a thing or two to say about that.

Based browsers
Firefox has google analytics built in to spy on users.

No more updates to Firefox's Blocked Add-ons list?
As for "why", the current blocklist is able to scale a lot more than the previous versions. Combined with the fact that this page wasn't super useful per se, we decided to not recreate such a page. See also: https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issues/9216

addons.mozilla.org triggers XPI download
This looks like a bug. I filed an issue for that and submitted a patch.

58% of Hacker News, Reddit and tech-savvy audiences block Google Analytics
If you're referring to Firefox using Google Analytics for the Firefox Add-ons frontend, as of July 2017, Firefox has disabled Google Analytics for any browser that has Do Not Track enabled.
https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issues/2785#issue...
This change was made in response to pressure from HN readers, so thanks to everyone for that.

Problems I Have with GNU Philosophy
How does something being open source inherently make it more ethical? Is an OSS that spys on all of your information more ethical than a proprietary software that doesn't? It's not like it's an impossibility for OSS to be malicious!

You know what, Fuck you
Because Firefox is also horrible, THEY USE GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Mozilla should add this feature from the Chrome Web Store!
I made an issue for this on GitHub. Give it a thumbs up if you're interested! https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issues/10087

How do I add the dns over https server to the "private dns" on android?
Yes the standard mode is a VPN. The app also offers a non-vpn mode that works best if you are root. Alternatively, you can piggy back it with a firewall app, but those will use the VPN api too. I have not tested it in that mode. FAQ
-
Is there an app that blocks Facebook and alike without a VPN slot/root?
https://github.com/ch4t4r/Nebulo can run in proxy (localhost) mode.

AdGuard vs Blokada (non root user)
DNS66, unfortunately, leaks DNS over TCP (which many spyware SDKs like InMobi / Gamooga use) and (iirc) it also lacks encryption which apps like personalDNSFilter, Nebulo implement.

Any app connection scanners for Android?
Blokada remains a credible adblocker, but it isn't water tight, nor do I (and others I have spoken to, like the developers of Nebulo, personalDNSFilter, and DNS66) get the feeling the developers really get digital security or privacy.

Do you trust NextDNS?
Or nebulo for android, quad9, then blocklist.

Is Blokada effective? Any issues I should know about?
Blokada is pretty decent at what it does, but there absolutely are better alternatives, https://github.com/ch4t4r/Nebulo is one.

Adguard is amazing for adblocking on non-rooted android phones
For the above reasons, https://github.com/ch4t4r/Nebulo is a better app, privacy wise. It doesn't do any of the above.
