Yes. The problem with cookies was that they could be used to track and identify you. If this can't do that, then what's the issue?

Most data can be de-anonymized with some clever tricks. I don't know about Mozilla but the others definitely try to keep it just anonymous enough to later be correlated with the rest of your profile.
