Component The Dot browser uninstaller on Windows
Describe the bug Uninstaller sends unwanted telemetry to Mozi11a during the uninstall (doesn't that sound great for a "privacy" browser such as Dot?)
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install mitmproxy to see the requests that the uninstaller makes and follow the instructions here on how to set up mitmproxy.
- Have mitmproxy open in a web browser other than Dot
- Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features
- Right click on Dot and click "Uninstall"
- Go through the uninstall process
- After the uninstall is done you should see a request to
https://incoming.telemetry.mozilla.orgin the flows
Expected behavior
The uninstaller (or the web browser itself) should not make telemetry requests such as https://incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org or any unwanted requests at all. Just uninstall
