Well, not quite. I installed Firefox rather a long time ago on this system. Again I can't prove it, but at that time I believe this question and preference referred *only* to 'data collection'. However, since then, a new sub-preference seems to have appeared, labelled 'Allow Firefox to install and run studies'. It appears, so far as I can tell, that they are claiming this promotional tie-in constituted a "study". That's a weak claim to start with, but more importantly, I am fairly sure this "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" preference was simply set to 'true' when it was *added* to Firefox. I was not asked. If I had been, I'm pretty sure I would've said no. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
