Why is Mozilla allowing Webtrends to run a tracking script on https pages?

Ghostery now shows me that Webtrends is running a tracking script on this page, while the address bar shows that this is a "secure" page. Doesn't a tracking script make the "s" redundant?

That doesn't make a difference. Firefox will always run scripts. This script comes via a secure HTTPS link. If the script would come via an insecure HTTP link then you will get a broken padlock in the Site Identity Button.

How do I and Mozilla know what information is collected by Webtrends and what is done with that information?

I've attached an image of what Ghostery is showing to me.

Mozilla uses that site to collect data for its own usage to see gather statistics.

The Webtrends scripts run on all Mozilla pages that I've looked at while using Ghostery, including the sign-up, log-in, and donation pages. Java scripts can be made to collect any information from a web page; how does Mozilla ensure that sensitive user information isn't being collected by Webtrends? Webtrends apparently prevents Ghostery from displaying the source code, which suggests that there may be something in the code that Webtrends doesn't want users to know about. I've saved a page and the scripts look to me as though they may be intended to collect names and user id's, but my knowledge of Java is quite limited. Does anyone at Mozilla check those scripts to ensure that the scripts are collecting only the information used by Mozilla?
