Totally disagree I find the present trend towards opt-in-by-default to be an anathema.

It's totally unreasonable that I should have to start up applications in a sandbox after each upgrade and/or hire a team of lawyers to go over the EULA/TOS to find what new & interesting ways have been found to sell my personal info.

(Responding to your general point btw rather than specifically against Mozilla, who compared to the alternatives do seem to care about their users privacy, nor Sync which which you have to opt in for)

For what it's worth, I was talking specifically about Sync's behavior for extension data, and wasn't trying to make any general point about opt-in-by-default.
