That's why you put things behind a permission system. If a site requires a spy permission to view content.... then the user can decide if privacy matters in this case.
Fingerprinting someone who doesn't care is already trivial. Just ask for their email or sign on with google or Facebook. Or don't even bother and just listen through the Google alarm clock. Or find us with our Tiles.
Mozilla wants to kill all spyware, but what about services that would probably cost a lot of money without spyware?
Unless you outlaw those(In which case I'd probably have some angry letters to write) or provide a cheap alternative... the kind of people who click "accept" on location access prompts are already spied on 8 different ways.
It's kind of an uphill losing fight to protect people from something most people like.
