- franga2000 6y agoOf course they do! Haven't you seen a fresh install of Firefox in like 10 years? The second thing you see is the little "do you want to opt out of analytics" popup. They don't say anything about the other, non-privacy-related requests FF makes (like portal and update checks), but those are explained in their privacy policy and it's very easy to verify that they in fact don't contain any information you should be worried about. Like it or not, there isn't a privacy issue here. I wouldn't mind a "silent mode", sure, but ultimately, that's a missing feature, not a critical bug.
