It is not as bad as Google, but mozilla also does some shady stuff that I find annoying and eroded my trust in them.
When I go to the extension store (as a developer) and click on "Manage or submit extensions", they automatically get my email and credentials from my Firefox sync account (the one registered in my browser). I understood that by trying to use this store with multiple accounts in multiple containers, but it is impossible. You cannot get the normal and neutral connection screen to login to any account, they grab your credentials without your consent anyway.
