"Send user data" option does not work (when disabled FF still constantly phoning incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org)

Open pashynskykh opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Steps to reproduce

  1. Disable "Send user data".
  2. Check DNS logs / use mitmproxy, etc.

Expected behavior

If Firefox stands for privacy, there should be an option to disable all telemetry. Furthermore, it should be opt-in, not opt-out.

Actual behavior

Firefox constantly phoning incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org regardless of settings / No option to disable telemetry.

Device & build information

  • Device: iPhone 11.
  • Build version: 103.0 (13910).

Also, looks like FF still connecting to Adjust, ignoring disabled «Send user data» setting. 17DF9BBD-0C0D-4DD5-BCAF-39B009AB5BE8

Just checked desktop version of FF, and there it works as expected.

Also, looks like opting-out from telemetry on iOS does not assume removing all previously collected data, as it implemented on desktop.

I suggest not only fixing this issue ASAP, but also implementing automatic removal of all previously collected data after opting out from telemetry, as it implemented on desktop FF.
