Source: firefox Version: 116.0-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
On an installation in a fresh sid chroot I got a popup that said
Firefox automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can
improve your experience. [Choose What I Share]
And the button took me to about:preferences#privacy with
Firefox Data Collection and Use
We strive to provide you with choices and collect only what we need
to provide and improve Firefox for everyone. We always ask permission

And none of the boxes checked.
I assume no-telemetry-by-default is a Debian configuration item?
The pop-up should be removed, since we aren't collecting any telemetry,
and there's no need to worry the user with "hey we're collecting
telemetry, disable here!" and then there's nothing to disable.
Is there undisableable telemetry? Or is the pop-up wrong?
Best,
наб
