I must correct myself: utm_* is not part of Firefox’s query stripping, which only removes about 23 parameters: https://firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com/v1/buckets/mai...

For me, it comes from uBlock Origin’s AdGuard/uBO – URL Tracking Protection list, which removes almost three hundred parameters unconditionally and a lot more conditionally: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/...

(A few of the parameters in that list are a little alarming in a you-could-easily-name-a-legitimate-parameter-this sort of way, like user_email_address, maf and taid.)
