On https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/update-on-terms..., they give an example of an overly broad definition of "selling" from California:

> "selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration."

I read that definition, and think to myself... "transferring" ... yeah, a web browser definitely has to transfer data ... "to a third party" ... yeah, web browsers have to send that data to web servers owned by other people. Silly California! That's not selling!

Oh wait, there's more. ... "in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration". ... oh. Yeah. I would call that selling too. How is that a broad definition? Rather than broad, I would call it comprehensive.

So Mozilla has had to stop saying they are not selling your data because... they are actually selling your data. Or else they have plans to do so.
