  Firefox’s main funding was from Google being their default search engine. Which of course means anything searched in Google is recorded to the external IP address logs. So unless you are going directly to the website or changed the search engine in Firefox, yes Google was recording said information (or at least compiling the numbers for data analytics) to use for advertising purposes.
