I'm glad that Mozilla has responded in this way. My disappointment remains, however. I am one of those not affected at all by the Looking Glass extension but still, my trust is Mozilla (which has been eroding as of late) has suffered greatly. I am giving Mozilla exactly one more chance before uninstalling FF on ever device I have. In the meantime, I will no longer volunteer for ANY data collection. Last chance, Mozilla.

But.... why? And what browser on gods earth are you going to switch to that has the same respect for privacy as Firefox (excluding poorly maintained FF forks). It's a blip, one you where not affected by at all and in the scheme of things not major compared to other vendors. But hey, boo mozilla uninstall everything and use lynx/curl!

  Mozilla as an organization and Firefox displayed their reckless disregard for my privacy. It would be foolish to dismiss it as just a blip. If Mozilla cared about people trusting them with their privacy then they shouldn't have evicerated that trust by installing an extension (even switched off) behind their back. They did this with Looking Glass, they did this with Pocket, and they did this with non-free WebRTC support. Three strikes and you're out!

    None of those violated your privacy by any reasonable definition. Those three things did not provide any additional information about you to any third party (unless you opted in to using pocket). WebRTC did violate your fundamental freedoms as defined by the FSF, but that's not a privacy violation. Please explain how your privacy was actually meaningfully violated.

    Ok, so are you going to be using Edge or Chrome, and which of those respects your privacy more than Firefox. No organisation is perfect and you have a right to be angry, but you're being a bit extreme IMO. It's much more nuanced than three strikes and you're out, and it's a shame to reduce it to that level.

    What's the non-free WebRTC support? I missed that.

So what are you moving to if they fail your challenge? (I've asked myself this question, and apart from "try something exotic like Qutebrowser, prepared to move back if it doesn't work out" I don't see a better alternative personally)
