As far as I am aware, there is no "hardcoded usage sharing in Firefox".
Firefox just has its default homepage set to http://www.google.com/firefox
Most of Mozilla's revenue derives from traffic sent to Google at that
address.
(The theory being most people won't change it to http://www.google.com/ if
they want Google set as their homepage.)
