How can I download Firefox for my Android but decline Google's policy block?
Google demands that I accept all the policies they list before I can download Mozilla Firefox. The reason I want Firefox is because Firefox respects my privacy. Google does not respect my privacy and wants to sell my stats. THAT is the reason I want Firefox! How can I download Firefox & decline Google's unacceptable demands?

By default you cannot. Android's permission model is based on you trusting the app you are installing to use the permissions it asks for with care.
If you are willing to root your phone and install a custom version of the Android operating system CyanogenMod allows you to granularly approve and revoke permissions from the app you are running.
This is a somewhat dangerous process and if the wrong things happen you could wreck your phone.
