Mozilla Turns Firefox Away from Open Source, Towards Spyware: Firefox Labs Now Requires Data Collection (www.quippd.com)

TL;DR: Mozilla is now enforcing data collection as a pre-requisite to access new features in Firefox Labs. This is backed by the Terms of Use that Mozilla introduced a few months ago.

That's the point, we don't want it to phone home. So why are we crying it won't let us turn on an even worse feature when telemetry is off?

If you don't like it phoning home, why would you possibly want it to download and execute random code pushed by Mozilla? No phoning home means no phoning home. You can't possibly want telemetry off and labs on at the same time.
