This is to be separated:
#1: Google is implemented as Mozilla's #1 Search Engine in the list.
#2: Google uses the Mozilla Browser's prefetching feature
ad #1: If that makes Mozilla a bad browser for you, you're free to fork
your own source tree and have whatever-you-like as #1 search engine.
ad #2: Certainly this imposes a privacy leak. But it's a feature you
can disable - as well as, e.g. including images from foreign web sites.
That cookie argument doesn't count: any image linked from other sites
can do the very same.
