Despite its emphasis on protecting privacy, Mozilla is moving towards integrating ads, backed by new infrastructure from their acquisition of Anonym. They claim this will maintain a balance between user control and online ad economics, using privacy-preserving tech.

That depends entirely on what kind of data is stored and how often a new unique ID is created, and that’s something users can seize control over.
