The other day I was using firefox on a public. On my computer creating a new tab creates a blank tab, but this one it showed ‘Suggested by Firefox’. One of the links was interesting, so I clicked on it. Would this be considered user data that would be sold? Some clarification from Mozilla about what constitutes selling user data would be great.
I’m sure some laws would considering you making this post or me writing this comment as “selling” data.
Anything that a company is doing that makes them remove “we won’t sell your data” from their TOS counts as selling data as far as I’m concerned.
That’s the fun part, you don’t really get to know.

The fact that you use firefox == data
-
You telling me == transfer
-
I like your post == consideration
Thats a sale in California’s books.
Interesting equivocation, but until Mozilla Corp specifically explains how they sell your data, it is unhealthy to be anything but skeptical about why they refused, repeatedly, to clarify.
Also your private browsing data is not the same as your public post data.

The legal definition of “selling” is insanely convoluted and dependent on local laws
