We shouldn't be doing that either. Any welcome page initially displayed

That's getting into the "paranoid" area .. where do you draw the line?
The fedora project (and lots of its mirros)also gets your ip when the
system checks for updates,
Mozilla is a third party. There is no reason that they should be contacted
by default.
Even for mirrors, people run local mirrors. Not every installation contacts
Fedora mirrors directly.
The cost of avoiding phoning home in tese cases is low. You can install a
copy of the file locally and use a file: reference to it. The file can
include a link to the source so that people can fetch a possibly more
up to date version if they want.
