Yes and this phrasing is used in many other products, like credit cards. Additionally, the fact that the phrasing can be interpreted as such means that it will be interpreted as such and so makes Mozilla's new Terms unacceptable to anyone who values their privacy or data.

No it doesn't. Most businesses finish that sentence with "...for any purpose" not "... to help you navigate the web"
It will still be interpreted to mean "...for any purpose" by Mozilla somehow.

For me it sounds similar to Google‘s phrasing that they use to make people activate personalized ads:
„used to deliver better, more helpful experiences“

How does them selling my data help me navigate the web?

In their holier than thou attitude (shared by some here) you have to pay to do anything. And that's how you pay to use the web with their browser.
