I believe the settings to disable this on Librewolf are set by default...

The data being collected is meant to enhance the appeal of Firefox as an ad platform for customers who might want to buy paid placements in Firefox Suggest. Perhaps they also consider it useful as a trial balloon to test the reaction it gets before heading further in that direction. The reaction it gets will not be good.

Looks like I may finally be trying out Librewolf.

I like the out of the box experience of LibreWolf very much but it will not work well for all websites in my case. Luckily Firefox and LibreWolf can be installed and used at the same time without any issues.
