Firefox Hello and Pocket are not attempts to "sell user data". In the case of the latter, Mozilla isn't even getting paid by Pocket, as they have said numerous times.
But yes, Mozilla is dependent on money, like all corporations. If you want to ensure that their funding sources are never in conflict with what users want, there's a very easy solution to that: https://sendto.mozilla.org/page/contribute/givenow-seq https://sendto.mozilla.org/page/contribute/givenow-seq
(If every Firefox user gave $2, they wouldn't need their partnerships with Yahoo/Google for search integration, which has been their primary funding source for years).
