Heads up yall:

By deselecting/disabling everything under Firefox Data Collection and Use it should also disable Website Advertising Preferences which is the Privacy-preserving attribution (PPA) as mentioned in the article

That and I would honestly recommend installing Librewolf as an alternative browser (it's Firefox but with privacy prioritized default settings)

Installing as a Flatpak via Flathub

sudo pacman -S flatpak
flatpak install flathub io.gitlab.librewolf-community

Installing on Arch Linux via Yay:

## Yay Install
sudo pacman -S git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay/
makepkg -si

## Enter super user/or root password when prompted.

## Package installs with Yay
yay -S librewolf-bin
