Nobody at Mozilla is considering sharing sites you visted with us - that would be ridiculous for an organization with our principles.
That said, Chrome AFAIK does that and even shares every character you type in the location bar with Google, they say it's to improve the search results you get there.

You mean in order to perform incremental search, they have to send the search data to the search engine? *Gasp* Evil!
