Mozilla's answer is clearly some PR attempt again. Anyone with basic technical understanding knows that any form of communication includes ways ot identifying and tracking.
The dishonesty of silently installing telemetry to monitor people who disable telemetry is a telltale sign of this attitude.
Once again it is weakening the leftover trust in mozilla and pushes long time supporter away to alternatives such as waterfox. It raises the question again of mozilla " making far-reaching and very short-sighted decisions in a vacuum." taking control away from users, not respecting privacy and user choice.
