Mozilla: Apologies and deletes telemetry data

Mozilla apologized publicly after the certificate error that caused its extensions to be disabled , αποκαλύπτοντας ότι σχεδιάζει να διαγράψει όλα τα δεδομένα τηλεμετρίας που συγκέντρωσε πριν την κυκλοφορία του αρχικού fix (έκδοση 66.0.4).

The company says the issue has already been resolved, and "we will try to improve our systems so that similar problems do not arise in the future."Mozilla firefox

Mozilla has revealed that it has collected usage data from the browser as part of the Studies program that it used to make the repair available, and that it will now delete it completely from its servers.

“We respect our users, and we will delete all telemetry and from all users collected between 2019-05-04T11:00:00Z and 2019-05-11T11:00:00Z,” Mozilla says.

Some users who participated in Studies program only to receive the repair on their devices, according to Mozilla, they will have to check their settings before reactivating, something that "must happen sometime after May 13, 2019".

To turn it on or off Studies in Firefox, open the browser and follow the path below:

Mozilla says that although the problem has already been fixed by the release Firefox 66.0.4 but also the next Firefox 66.0.5, the company will continue its research and will provide us with more details when available.
