Why does Firefox ask you to sign up for VPN? Doesn't that defeat the purpose, since they'll know who you are, where you browse, and can sell that info? (sh.itjust.works)

Is their vpn free? You're signing up for a VPN service that has a limited amount of bandwidth provided at no cost.

Their angle isn't to sell your data, it's for you to want to upgrade to the paid plan.

You won't find a VPN that has no ability to share information about you.
