I have a fresh install of F27. All of the boxes you mention are
un-checked. I didn't touch FF much since I mainly use Chrome. So, I
think they must have been unchecked by default. I don't recall if I
was asked my preference.
When new/fresh profile is created I always saw a small "status line" in
the bottom with a button (I think it doesn't pop-up immediately, but
after some short period of time (~10 seconds maybe), asking about data
collection, which when clicked opens the preferences where you can
switch those off. That is what I remember from last time.
