IMO, this blog post is needlessly alarmist and even misleading.
On the pre-release FF downloads page [1] it says, "Firefox Nightly automatically sends feedback to Mozilla." Not sure how the author of this post got the impression that Nightly _doesn't_ collect user metrics and analytics, but this is its explicit purpose.
If the author really cares about privacy, he should just use the main Firefox release or, even better, something like Waterfox or PaleMoon.
But please - don't slam Mozilla for creating dedicated analytics and tracking release channels and then using those channels for, you know, analytics and tracking.
