updating (app, extensions, ext cache) is not a privacy issue
- if you're willing to use Firefox but not trust updating, then I have two bricks to sell you: users who wish to disable it (to check changes first etc) and update in a timely manner, then that is on them - including any prompt fatigue
- same goes for extensions: the end-user installed them (and arkenfox only recommends a very select few) - the onus is on the end-user

The remaining ones I will deal with later
