You can test this yourself:
Open Firefox
If you've added any extensions create a fresh profile, so you can test the default configuration
Open Developer Tools
Open the Networking panel
Visit a site with analytics (ex:
jefftk.com
)Observe pings being sent (ex:
google-analytics.com/j/collect?...
)
Firefox does have an "Enhanced Tracking Protection" mode, but it's not enabled by default. Additionally, Firefox users are likely disproportionately blocking ads, which also block analytics scripts.
