Mozilla does do a lot of underhanded or anti-user things, including the boatloads of telemetry some of which goes through Google Analytics. However, Mozilla is still a lot better than Google, and Firefox is leaps and bounds better than Chrome in terms of privacy, even given all of the problematic things Mozilla has done, even if the fact that there's a big controversy every time Firefox does something bad while everyone just expects Chrome to do bad things and so doesn't talk about it gives the impression that Firefox is worse. I think that's actually the reason why there's a big outcry every time Mozilla does something like this — Mozilla Firefox is kind of one of the last browsers to be relatively respecting of people's privacy and definitely one of the last ones outside of Google's Chromium dominion, so it means a lot more when they do bad things.
