Please clarify.........
In browser location line put about:about and you will find all the "about" places you can visit and make changes to. One of those is about:config, which is where you can put datareport into the search box and find them, also put telemetry in the search box and find it. You can google what they do for Mozilla.

You could, by clearing the setting of each, leaving it blank. Most just look for the one that says "enable" and change to "disable". I've heard that may not work completely on it though, maybe some sneaking out anyway. I blanked all mine out.
