Telemetry is actually disabled by default but Mozilla CI opts in for all of its mozconfigs. Downstream may simply be unaware but use their own builds to tweak options (e.g. --prefix, --with-system-*, --enable-alsa) and/or apply patches. A year ago Ubuntu enabled telemetry but other distributions started to follow the suit only recently. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1233687#c5 http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/firefox.git/commit/?id=b2b845f7ba35 https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/firefox&id=0368ebdb85ec -- Bug 1348576 is another example of relying on obscure options from CI. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
