"If Firefox is dedicated to preserving privacy, then no Opt-in data feature should be added. "

I really don't understand this of the user, while previous sentence he writes:

"but I will say that I believe Opt-in is pro-privacy, while Opt-out is anti-privacy."

I think he's saying that not having an opt-in/out feature would show FF's dedication towards privacy, but if they are going to have an Opt-feature, Opt-in is better than opt-out.
