Those are both anonymized, though. That doesn't make it okay, necessarily, but that's a pretty clear line, so I don't think this is a frog in boiling water situation. They also willing to have conversations with users about privacy in the open [0] [1], and both telemetry and Google Analytics can be turned off. (The latter is already turned off if you've enabled Do Not Track.) Finally, Mozilla apparently spent a year working on a contract with Google before they even enabled Google Analytics [2], so it wasn't a matter of slapping Google Analytics on a page because they thought one page couldn't possibly hurt. That being said, I'm skeptical of their use of Google Analytics, so I'm not trying to defend that. I do think it's unfair to imply Mozilla is carelessly following the rest of the web, though.
