Mozilla added a TOS and Privacy Policy that includes very broad language for interpretation, and very odd language for an open source browser as well.
"When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox."
As well as this in their Privacy Policy:
"Mozilla collects technical and interaction data, such as the position, size, views and clicks on New Tab content or ads, to understand how people are interacting with our content and to personalize future content, including sponsored content. This data may be shared with our advertising partners on a de-identified or aggregated basis."
So in short, Mozilla collects advertising data on you as a part of the browser's new Privacy Policy and they have an extremely broad right to any data you input through Firefox. They have since released a statement essentially telling people they misinterpret it, despite many security and privacy professionals calling bullshit.
