Yeah I read about that and it's in no way a breach of privacy. So you overreacted, probably without even researching what you were reacting to

No I didn't overrated. Users where opt-in in ad tracking by default after that Firefox update. Users were not notified about this. And "privacy-preserving ad measurement" is misleading on purpose, I don't understand why you would fall for that too.

This all happened when Mozilla bought an ad company called Anonym. I'm fully done with Firefox now. I moved to a Firefox fork.
