Internet users who download the Firefox web browser from the official Mozilla website get a unique identifier attached to the installer that is submitted to Mozilla on install and first run.

Does this mean you cannot install Firefox anonymously?

    If it bothers you enough, you can download FFox from here without a unique id in the setup.exe thing. https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

    or get it from your distro's repository, which of course doesn't use the installer
