They didn't delete it. Go to the github diff they reference and check. It's still there. They just removed it from one of the JSON files but people here aren't actually checking facts, they're just jumping on the hate train.

So where is that paragraph found on their website?

The relevant section isn't what you linked to - scroll down to the change in structured-data-firefox-faq.html

Here it is now: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/faq/

All three statements about not selling your personal data are gone.

Good point. I checked the page it should be on, and the switch has disabled it. I checked also https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/#lawful-bases and it smells like Firefox is selling its users out.

Apologies for my previous defense of Firefox. I can't find a reason to defend them anymore.

People love to hate Firefox. Reinforces their reasons for using the shiny big brands.

at this point, it’s Mozilla that loves to hate Firefox and its users, not Firefox users themselves
