Never trust them, they're still lying on their FAQ

Data collection still bugs me. Can I turn it off?

Yes. User control is one of our data privacy principles. We put that into practice in Firefox on our privacy settings page, which serves as a one-stop shop for anyone looking to take control of their privacy in Firefox. You can turn off data collection there.

You can't just turn off data collection by opt-out through this option :-/
