about:telemetry should tell you if its enabled or not and has links that go into more detail about whats collected and their policies.
This page explains a bit more about it: https://www.howtogeek.com/557929/how-to-see-and-disable-the-telemetry-data-firefox-collects-about-you/
So assuming you disable all the optional telemetry in the settings, you should be good right?
Yup, you should be good if you do that. There are some tools to create a more private profile and the librewolf/mulvad browsers do just that (while removing the code which would allow a good portion of it in the first place)
Here's that tool: https://ffprofile.com/
Firefox based privacy browser: https://mullvad.net/en/browser
To clarify why this is important, this data can be de-anonymized where anonymized and be used for fingerprinting your internet usage. If you're concerned about privacy this is a pretty big red flag, especially if your government is getting this information, which many have and will be able to in the future.
Fingerprinting isn't a perfect system and can incorrectly flag innocent people.
If you unfortunately life in the wrong place, whether true or not being flagged as gay/trans or the wrong political party can very much harm you. Texas has asked the government for a list of trans people inside their state, though the request was denied for now, what happens when it isn't? what happens when it's not just trans people, and is instead your group? Caution is king.
