    Doesn’t it just clean up the link or does Firefox actually know which part of the link to remove?

          Looks like it has a list of global and site specific parameters that it is safe to remove.

          I think it’s a combination of things, a basic approach of removing the query string (after the question mark) with exceptions for different sites that might need some of the query string.

          Generally, most are variables prefixed with utm_

          They likely built an index from most of the Analytics services also.
