Comment (by arthuredelstein):
Assuming that Mozilla continues to retain individual records on all AMO
downloads, and sends this data automatically to all interested third
parties, it's still a small privacy leak compared to the immense leakage
by likely thousands of users who aren't using HTTPS Everywhere, because
they aren't aware of it, or because they searched for HTTPS Everywhere on
AMO and didn't find it.
So I would advocate putting HTTPS Everywhere on AMO unconditionally, and
in parallel, continuing to push Mozilla to improve their privacy
practices.
