So everyone clicks "no" (or gets confused and asks a technical relative), Firefox always sends the DNT header, so no sites respect it.

>or gets confused and asks a technical relative

Isn't that a good thing for users to know about tracking? Firefox can always include some small popup help with the prompt explaining the DNT.

>so no sites respect it

But they will lose a big excuse(it's default) not to support it.
