Maybe someone loves to use the old one and didn't update. This can be useful for her/him.

And it's in pyllyukko's repo. I looked into installed firefox and forks via about:config and issuer is right. Default value is False.
BTW, do not ever trust kb.mozillazine as it appears semi-abandoned (look the last update on bottom page), use searchfox.org instead:

It appears to be becoming true by default https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/mozilla-firefox-to-enable-hyperlink-ping-tracking-by-default/ .
Yay me for having to open https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/pull/876 after having fixed this issue only four days ago.
