The problem is that they also transfer that data and make it public [1] and also share with partners researchers for improving the software. Those two usages are selling according to California law, just because they can be argued as something that improves the product Firefox or Mozilla services.

If you "share with partners" in exchange for money, that sounds a lot like selling.
