I don't disagree that it's possible to configure Firefox to respect your privacy. I myself use it sometimes and have a similar configuration.

But it is extremely misleading for them to be shouting "privacy" at every opportunity while the truth is that their browser leaks personal data like a sieve in the default configuration. This would give a false sense of security to non-technical people who don't have the skills to see through these lies.
