      <p>Firefox is independent and a part of the not-for-profit Mozilla, which fights for your online rights, keeps corporate powers in check and makes the internet accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Top paragraph is what they're changing it to (behind a feature flag) and bottom is what it currently is. i.e. they are REMOVING the bit you marked in bold in your quote when the new ToS is active.

My dude, its being changed to add an additional paragraph. It is not being removed.

My dude, there is no "extra" paragraph in there. There is a conditional statement that says:

if (this_flag_is_set) {
  // [show this paragraph where we remove any mention of us not selling your data]
} else {
  // [show this paragraph where we mention that we don't sell your data]
}

So it's an "either/or," not a "plus."

It wasn't "removed", which was what I was responding to.
