I agree. The new features, however, are not. They even ("temporarily") collect IP addresses by default when FF calls home.( https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/ )
And, naturally, they also intend comply with the law. In other words, they hand over data to governments.

What Mozilla are doing here is despicable.
- simion314 9y agoThe users that used Firefox despite the lower performance had good reaspons to use Ff like privacy and the extensions, now this new performance updates are cool but the updates that affect privacy and extensions hit the loyal users, I think this is a huge, mistake and I understand that extensions need to be updated but privacy should be the first reason someone would use Ff over chrome, if Mozilla needs statistics then they can prompt the user and ask permissions.
