This just means they can use the information you input in order for Firefox to work the way you expect it to. The purpose of the information collection is clearly stated:

to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.

If Mozilla wants to limit their use of my input, why the do I need to give them a full, non-exclusive license?

Wouldn’t just ”exclusive” be the word that your argument would be better with?

So that they can process all your input.

Firefox works just fine without the ToS change. They are up to something.
