    Also, even things as simple as interacting with your new tab is collected and sent to Mozilla's servers.

    Here's all the metrics that firefox collects when you simply open a new tab. It collects things that are entirely unnecessary to serving you a new tab. And there's a ton of other ways that it tracks you.

    The source on the snippets part says that it is disabled through the telemetry checkbox and has been since Firefox 64 (they celebrated version 100 recently). The issue about the self-repair pings is from 2015 and another of their sources says that something called "Heartbeat" (which I would guess is what a more current implemetation is called) is disabled through the telemetry checkbox. It says the same for "blocking a site", which I would guess is the new implementation of what used to ping the blocklist domain.

    You also say that FF uses this data for "features that do not serve the user in any meaningful way." I argue this isn't true - all data sent back is used for your security to update your blocklists, for your convenience to pre-load websites, or for Mozilla to know how to continue developing the browser (which is the most straight-forward to disable). They (say that they) don't use any of the data for monetary gain: ** Mozilla never shares data with any third party.** (this is also the source you linked in the OP).
