So they're doing their own FLoC?
I turned it off immediately nonetheless. One thing to note though is that the switch doesn't exist in mobile Firefox. And it's not clear to me whether that means the feature doesn't exist at all or that I just can't turn it off?

I actually think this is a great initiative. Let's be honest, ads and ad tracking is not going anywhere, and Mozilla is trying to come up with a version of that which isn't terrible. And this sounds reasonable.

This is why whenever I install firefox, I first turn off wifi. Then I go through the settings and disable the ‘studies’ and other telemetry, etc, before switching the wifi back on. That will prevent the having to wait 30 days for the data to be deleted from Mozilla servers with it’s ‘on by default’.
For some reason, changing search engine via policy no longer works, but that can be bypassed by auto-installed extension that changes search engine.

True, they're not going anywhere on my systems since they get stopped at the gates; not one but many gates, defence in depth is the norm when dealing with vermin. We will fight them at the router, we will fight them in the name services, we will fight them at the firewall and in the applications. Wherever they come, we shall be. We will never surrender.
The ad industry can blame itself for this, they have shown themselves to be reliably unreliable and are no longer welcome.
