It will be "anonymised" I imagine, enough to give Google all they want and still let Mozilla get paid and _say_ they don't give up user data.

There's surely no way to tell what they do with the data at the other end? It's Google and their serf, Mozilla, I can't imagine it's wholesome.

Do you have you any basis for this assertion?

For the assertion of my assumption? The post itself is evidence of it.

You can see from the screenshot in the linked bug report that the data won't be shared whatsoever if those boxes aren't checked.
