Opt-out means on by default, opt-in is off by default (sorry to state the obvious).
The users above are referring to opting in/out of the tracking rather than the blocking of the tracking - so GA on Firefox by that standard is opt-in, even though in a Firefox specific context the setting is opt-out.
Obviously the EU wouldn't be cool with "but a competing browser with a small market share blocks us by default anyway".
