Mozilla’s very existence is based on its financial ties with Google, those utm parameters are there because of that relationship.
There are also other issues stemming from that problematic relationship e.g. Firefox privacy settings by default are more lenient towards Google than Facebook (you get a prompt inviting you to install the official Fb container, by contrast the unofficial Google container did not even get the “trusted” status, hence making it less visible to new users, even though it’s based on the same code).

Firefox is a good browser but there are issues.
