Mozilla has just deleted the following:

“Does Firefox sell your personal data?”

“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. "

This seems out of context. The same git commit that removes the paragraph OP pointed out also adds the following text:

"We believe the internet is for people, not profit. Unlike other companies, we don’t sell access to your data. You’re in control over who sees your search and browsing history. All that and exceptional performance too."

To me that seems more like a re-wording than a fundamental change.

Edit: I somewhat misread the commit, as @[email protected] pointed out below.
