Given many people name their WiFi networks after their name or something identifying and have too many devices set to connect to the already-set SSID, this is a horrible practice from Mozilla and definitely does not adhere to it's statements on privacy [1].
Additionally, many networks' WiFi addresses are simply unchangeable for a number of reasons, including lack of admin access.
I think it's great that Mozilla gives some semblance of control of one's privacy, but in the end, there's absolutely no reality where Firefox can claim it's focused on privacy [2].
