Why is Telemetry enabled by default when support page says it should be disabled in release builds?

Firefox Privacy and security

Page at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/#telemetry says Telemetry feature should be disabled by default in release builds. I just updated to 34.0.5 and it is enabled. I don't know if in a previous version is was enabled and it kept the same state, but I never manually set it to enabled.

hello itabirca, just to be sure: you did look at options > advanced > data choices to check if the extension was enabled? did you use a firefox beta release or the testpilot addon in the past?
