Correct me if I am wrong, but can't we just remove all Firefox telemetry by unchecking these options in Privacy & Security:

1) Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla

2) Allow Firefox to make personalized extension recommendations

3) Allow Firefox to install and run studies

4) Allow Firefox to send backlogged crash reports on your behalf

I understand they're selected by default so they're collecting data on many unaware users, but for anyone on HN, I am confident they have probably deselected all of them.



No, you have to use policies to completely disable telemetry.


Thank you, encryptluks2. Found them.
