Do you know where we can review the conversation around the original decision, when telemetry first came along, to enable it by default on nightly and aurora, but not on beta and release? I seem to remember the argument being made that nightly and aurora users should expect to be part of the development community, but that beta and release users would not necessarily have that expectation. I think there's merit in that view. I'm sure the data would be very useful to us, but (obviously) that's not the end of the discussion. > In addition, we intend to clarify in the Firefox privacy policy that > having telemetry enabled may also expose users to UI alterations such as > experimental features or A/B variation testing.

This would be fine by me on nightly and aurora. Gerv _______________________________________________ dev-privacy mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-privacy
