TL;DR: Mozilla is now enforcing data collection as a pre-requisite to access new features in Firefox Labs. This is backed by the Terms of Use that Mozilla introduced a few months ago.

I talk a little about this in the post, but it feels very weird to think of the new Labs features as being open source but not being accessible unless you are giving Mozilla data – OR you are compiling your own copy of Firefox (which is also no longer Firefox).
I think it is a very weird situation, but of course I do see the ambiguity.
