Yes, sorry, I'm talking about a fresh install of F27, fully updated just
after the first login.

Oh, scratch that.   The system I was checking on was a fresh install.  But, the 
home
directory had been restored from a backup that already had a .mozilla directory 
from
previous versions of Fedora.

When new/fresh profile is created I always saw a small "status line" in
the bottom with a button (I think it doesn't pop-up immediately, but
after some short period of time (~10 seconds maybe), asking about data
collection, which when clicked opens the preferences where you can
switch those off. That is what I remember from last time.

I have a fresh install of F27.   All of the boxes you mention are un-checked.  I
didn't touch FF much since I mainly use Chrome.  So, I think they must have been
unchecked by default.  I don't recall if I was asked my preference.

Firefox and Privacy Notice

[Alessio Ciregia]

Hello.
I don't know if it has already been discussed, but in Firefox, in
about:preferences#privacy, "Allow Firefox to send technical and
interaction data to Mozilla" and "Allow Firefox to install and run
studies" are enabled by default.
Ok, I trust Mozilla, but these should be opt-in features, IMO.
I don't want to start a flame, but I ask if someone could kindly point
me where, in Fedora, this question has already been discussed.

Thanks,
A.
