I am very averse to companies breaking my trust.

Mozilla can win it back by explicitly stating what they are collecting, why they are collecting it, and making opt out the default.

No, I mean by default you are opted out.

that is called opt in -> you have to opt in to the feature

Okay, but when this is discussed "making opt out the default" means you are signed up and have to opt out if you don't want to be signed up.

And that's fine, I'll just use different browsers until they change their stance.
