Funny things extensions can't block internal firefox telemetry nor telemetry used on protected mozilla sites.

You will need an additional user.js file to block all the telemetry and make sure the entry of protected mozilla sites is empty too, then recheck everything on every update cause mozilla loves to add new shit or even just change the name of about:config entries to fuck with the user.js settings.

That's always how Firefox introduces changes they know people will hate.
They reduce the backlash by adding a toggle to disable it.
Then a few versions down the track, they remove the option from the GUI - but don't worry anon, you can still turn it off using about:config!
Then a few more versions after that, they warn you the about:config option will be deprecated soon. Then it's gone, and you're now stuck with the shitty change they always wanted to force on you all along

Mozilla is worse than google in my opinion because not even google went so low to trust Soros to make a fucking censorship ''fact-check'' tool.
