While you can certainly turn off these sorts of features, I just want to emphasize that these are intended to make the product better, and Mozilla abides by a fairly strict privacy policy (when comparing to most tech companies at least):

The intention is to ship features that people actually want, and to ensure that Firefox is actually working for people (not everyone can/will file bug reports or post on twitter or hackernews etc)
