@Drops They sell access to a database of telemetry data gathered from any Firefox user who doesn't actively turn off telemetry in about:config. Turning it off in preferences isn't enough. Their customers are Google and other search engines.
The business model is active and very detailed surveillance of the behavior of users as they operate the browser. Modern Firefox is a telemetry machine with some web browsing features.- Manuel en todon.nl 📰 📚 and eovortio repeated this.
