Firefox Patch Release to Fix User-Data in Telemetry
- perihelions 5y agoIf you're on an affected Firefox, clicking this link demonstrates the bug: https://www.google.com/search?q=foo&client=foobar https://www.google.com/search?q=foo&client=foobar "client=" is supposed to pass a Firefox version string to Google -- but the browser is also intercepting this string (for confusing reasons I don't really understand), and sending it to mozilla.org on a telemetry channel. Now you can lookup and find that string here -- as "google:organic:foobar" or something similar: about:telemetry#keyed-scalars-tab (You can still verify this even if you've explicitly disabled Firefox telemetry. about:telemetry still shows you what it would be sending, if you were to enable it).
