Hi Olly, This is a good question. I am not part of that team. However, I have followed (admittedly from afar) some of the project, so I'll try to answer from my limited knowledge.
If I understand correctly, the plan is the following: - Start with a pre-defined list of the N most visited websites around the world (I don't know the value of N, but I would guess somewhere around 1000). A website being "google.com" or "blogspot.com", for instance, but without any further detail, so no differentiating between blogs or actual search requests. - Each copy of Firefox involved in this survey will send once a list of booleans "yes I have visited this website during the past ... days" ... except the data will be partially falsified by Firefox to make sure that nobody (including Mozilla) has accurate data on individual users. - This data will be sent once (and only once) per copy of Firefox, to make sure that nobody (including Mozilla) can deduce more detailed data by observing specific users. I will let you judge whether this information is privacy-invasive. I have no information regarding storage and retention policy. I am nearly certain, however, that the IP is not stored. I imagine that someone actually working on the project is working on a more detailed presentation that would answer all your questions.
