I always liked https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ but that's not the primary consumer page.

- aspenmayer 1y agoI hear that they don’t embed tracking metadata in those builds on the FTP, but I haven’t confirmed that. The normal download page embeds a unique tracking alphanumeric string in your build that is reported to the organization on a regular basis when the telemetry phones home unless you disable this manually and clear the values.

- aspenmayer 1y agoThanks for that authoritative source. Is Firefox a honeypot? I can’t see how this serves the user. All telemetry should be opt-in, not opt-out. We want failsafe, not faildeadly.
