Anyone know how I can turn off Firefox sending technical details and interactions? Everytime I turn this off, and restart FF it's on again. 58.0b11

  If you are on a Nightly or Developer build, you can not turn it off, I asked on Mozilla’s IRC. Downloading these builds is considered opt-in into telemetry, and toolkit.telemetry.enabled is hardcoded to enabled, the opt-out checkbox literally does nothing, I was told. And about:config confirmed this.

    Thanks for the insight. Would be good UI to a.) disable the control b.) add a comment.

    Okay, having a checkbox that does nothing is really bad. The fact that the privacy policy only just says something like "this policy might not apply to non-release builds", without actually having a policy for those also is more than questionable.
