At least in Germany, official builds of Firefox bundle Cliqz malware; according to an announcement they start with a small portion of users and want to ramp up to all of them in the future. No idea if non-mozilla.org (such as those from Debian sources) builds are affected. Likewise, Cliqz provides "recommendations" based on your complete browsing history.

I noticed this hasn't come up yet. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/01/sponsored_links_come_to_firefox/ So, it would look like people have only until ESR changes then they'll be stuck with that problem, at least for the US builds unless they can do it for everyone.
