I haven't noticed anything and I use Firefox every day. Nor have any of my clients where I deployed Firefox called. Is this because I always disable data collection in settings?
- ainar-g 5y agoYes, the bug was in the Telemetry code. I'm not sure if it's on by default, but it's probably better to disable it for any large-scale deployments. Both to prevent things like this and to make sure that things that should be disabled by default actually are.
- pdenton 5y agoAh, that explains it. Thank you. I recommend https://ffprofile.com/ https://ffprofile.com/ which was posted earlier here on HN. Makes it easier to deploy Firefox with saner defaults. You know I moved from Netscape 3.0 Gold to later versions, to Mozilla, to Phoenix, Firebird, and then Firefox. I tried other browsers but it's always a subpar experience for me. My only gripe is that they kept changing the UI.

- Ygg2 5y agoIt's not a telemetry bug. It's a networking bug. Avoiding it basically comes down to being extremely lucky.
