For the purposes of this thread I am not taking a specific position on
the overall issue, but as somebody who has worked on performance I would
like to point something out for discussion:

There's enough public data available on what sites are most popular. No need
for yet another database on that.
"Which sites using Flash does a user encounter?"
Mozilla can crawl this information itself, based on the above websites list. It
doesn't need to ask users to do it.
I don't think it's that simple. Plenty of content on top sites is
tailored to the user in some way. To measure how a browser is performing
on those sites, one would want to measure performance for actual content
that real users are seeing. Throwing some kind of crawler at it is
unlikely to produce representative samples of encounters with such
content, IMHO.
