I haven't read the article. All I know is, Firefox changed their TOS.

I was referring to Mozilla's past investment into advertising: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-anonym-raising-t...

To me that and the new ToS add up, why else would they remove the FAQ entry.

Totally fair, tbh. Stealing data for that purpose has already been normalized, so it's a much easier sell.
