    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.

          Generally, most are variables prefixed with utm_

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

          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.
