TL;DR: Mozilla is now enforcing data collection as a pre-requisite to access new features in Firefox Labs. This is backed by the Terms of Use that Mozilla introduced a few months ago.

I guess I just won't use Firefox labs then. I'm not turning telemetry on.

As long as Firefox is open source, I can strip the requirements and recompile it.
