How about Data-Collection Ban in All Firefox Extensions, Mozilla? How about that?

[–] specialwall@midwest.social 27 points 3 weeks ago

Except most extensions need to collect some data to work. Unless you want firefox to die, this isn't a great idea.

addons.mozilla.com isn't a large enough source of extension downloads for a lot of extension developpers to be willing to comply with that, they'd just drop the platform, and firefox would have an even harder time getting people to use it.
