  Of all browsers I've reviewed recently, Firefox is one of the most active upon installation. I think it may be the only one to immediately collect telemetry data too.

this has nothing to do with daily usage and it's shown that the activity is mostly because the default loaded page is mozilla.org

Firefox with a homepage set to blank contacts a lot of domains which I've had to block or explicitly disable in their hidden settings.

Why defend their poor practices? They should be ashamed about it. By far the best at this is Safari, which contacts just one Apple domain and the Google safe browsing domain. OTOH, macOS itself is way too chatty.
