Cristian, you are missing a vital point here openSUSE's buildservice and it's biggest sponsor SUSE are located in EU. That means open or closed source EU regulations apply, and the regulation is opt-in, meaning the user has to give consent. If not it is a violation of EU regulations, not counting civil rights of the user.
According to https://en.opensuse.org/Firefox Firefox is installed by default in openSUSE with the SUSEfox extension. That means it is not pure upstream hence, privacy related settings can be disabled as well.
Hi Togan ISTR Firefox asking permission to send telemetry (I can't remember the actual wording) when it's first started after a new installation. If the data collection you mention goes beyond that, I think you ought to open a bugreport.
