Don't they have exactly that already for telemetry? You can go to the preferences and turn it off instead of using about:config

  No. They even install an additional telemetry service that runs independently of Firefox.

    Only on Windows I believe. Every time Firefox is updated, it installs back the "Firefox Default Browser Agent" in the Task Scheduler.

      And FWIW it’s not just a “telemetry service.”

  Apparently this still leaves a boatload of telemetry options switched On. I had the Preferences option Off for years and yet there was a laundry list of telemetry options enabled in about:config. This is shady as fuck if you pardon my French. Completely unacceptable.
