​Mozilla quietly deploys built-in Firebox advertising

  As for fetching them, that's just a matter of blocking "tiles.services.mozilla.com". However, I couldn't really understand what data is being sent to Mozilla in general use cases. Does FF send data about normal browsing usage or just data about interaction with those suggested tiles?

    From the article 'That said, Firefox does send your browser history to Mozilla. '

      The article doesn't seem to contain this text anymore. Which is good, since it was false.

  If tiles are disabled / opted-out does Firefox cease sending this data to the mothership? I have to admit that as a long time Firefox user, Mozilla's recent product decisions are driving me slowly away.
