I think what they mean is that the addon doesn't do anything unless you opt-in. Still, why install it at all?

The installation of the add-on is unquestionably a change to Firefox. Whether the add-on does anything is largely immaterial.

Really poor choice of words here from mozilla. "The changes that already happened will not make changes to your firefox unless you enable them to", in other words the changes already happened and are just waiting to be activated.
