This is a link to a diff of Firefox where the FAQ are stored in a structured way. In the diff it can be seen that the question "Does Firefox sell your personal data?" has been removed:

        {  
            "@type": "Question",  
            "name": "Does Firefox sell your personal data?",  
            "acceptedAnswer": {  
                "@type": "Answer",  
                "text": "Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from  
                        many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed  
                        to protect your privacy. That’s a promise. "  
            }  
        },

People in the comments are asking if the definition of the word "neven" has been changed or what's going on.

Is there any way to actually have an effect of Firefox strategy? If they were a public company you could buy shares etc?

Usage statistics would be the only way tbh. No users means they would need to reconsider policies.
