Okay, so in conclusion, the attack vector from analytics that people spill dozens of comments on in every Mozilla thread is not unique to Firefox but rather shared with every website on the planet.

Yes. Except in most cases people aren't sent to $website unless they request it. That Mozilla does this is an opsec failure for anyone using it.

If any network request will result in this vulnerability, then why do you have an Internet connection at all? This isn't a Mozilla problem.

I can decide to connect only to trusted hosts. Having an automatic connection breaks that limitation.
You ask for a real attack, but you don't seem to accept the example that you were given. I'm not sure what your point is.
