And that opens the door to tracking hell.

How is that? I don't the feature either but it has nothing to do with
tracking.

The fact that the package is calling home (whether or not the location of the IP is checked), is a form of tracking. Particularly since firefox updates are being handled by Fedora and there is no need for our version to be calling home to check for updates.
