What I ask myself is why is Firefox collecting months of telemetry data if sending telemetry is disabled.

If I disable telemetry, I would also expect it to not get collected.

So that there's plenty to send when they oops-accidentally forget that setting during an upgrade, and ask you to set it again.

They will of course assume opt-out rather than opt-in, and send what they've collected the moment the browser launches, then they're ready to give you the choice of opt-out once again.
