Why do you assume that private information was sent ? It could be something as simple as a "I crashed because of OoM" packet.

Not to mention that Firefox is open source, so you (and GDPR authorities) can check yourself what exactly is being sent...

Every telemetry will at least transmit users' IP address (by the nature of how requests are made), which is legally considered private information.

Even if that was not the case, a privacy respecting (any?) browser has no business sending any information from my machine, including "I crashed because of OoM" unless I explicitly allow it to do so.

Zero telemetry by default is the only acceptable standard for any browser that claims to be privacy respecting (which Firefox does).
