Software in the Public Interest, Inc. (SPI), publisher of Debian™ GNU/Linux and Debian™ GNU/kFreeBSD™ has reached an agreement in its longstanding trade dress dispute with the Mozilla Corporation, publisher of the Firefox application suite. Under the agreement, SPI will pay an undisclosed sum to the Mozilla Corp. and periodically turn over marketing data regarding SPI's customers. In exchange, SPI will receive a nonexclusive license to distribute the Firefox suite as part of SPI's Debian™ products.
SPI agreed not to alter the branding of the Firefox suite; not to disable its Pocket integration; not to alter the suite's anti-phishing or search features, which are sponsored by Mozilla Corp. partners; and to discontinue its competing Iceweasel Web suite, which is based on Mozilla Corp. software licensed under a previous accord. The Firefox suite will be provided to SPI's Debian™ customers as an automatic update via the firm's Dpkg℠ service. The updates will go out over the course of the next three months to groups of randomly selected customers, in order to provide what SPI calls "a superior upgrade experience."

I don't know, I personally started using Chromium for certain modern sites. For everything else I went back to seamonkey. Using Shell bindings I can load one of three profiles:
1. General browsing
2. Facebook (I hate it, but most of family & friends are on it)
3. Unixnut handle
4. Anonymous (this profile is deleted after exit, so each time you run it you get a fresh profile)
Each one has its own settings, its own cookie store, and its own temp dir. So the facebook profile knows nothing about me except what is in fb. It cannot access the other profiles.
This is good enough for my privacy, quite frankly.
