I have supported Firefox for a long time. I enjoy using Firefox with plug-ins such as uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Multi-Account Containers, and FlagFox.
I understand the need to work with Google and Meta. I don't like or trust the advertising business but I recognise that these companies are billion-dollar giants.
However, activating a feature without asking users is a failure to uphold the mission statement. And Meta is a repeat offender in the domain of security.
Mozilla, this is a failure.
Here is a fork of Firefox that I have been using:

A quick search doesn't show that Mozilla gets significant financial support from Meta (although maybe that's just bad searching on my part). If not money, what does Mozilla gain from this? Goodwill and a hearty thanks?

But the company prints money and its tentacular toxicity touches almost everything on the Internet. > what does Mozilla gain from this? Goodwill and a hearty thanks? One supposes it's money because nothing else is a plausible reason for Mozilla behaving exactly like Meta.
