Comment (by cypherpunks):

 I mean it's not even breaking any functionality, it would just be
 providing a safe default for people who install extensions. Since those
 extensions can't be considered security critical, there's no reason to be
 checking for their updates and sending a list of installed extensions to
 Mozilla is equal to telling users, "I told you not to install anything,
 your fault" when that could be easily fixed. Fortunately I know how to
 disable it, too bad for those that don't, they should have known better
 not to install anything
