It's helpful for Mozilla's engineers to be able to measure how Firefox behaves in the real world. The Telemetry feature provides this capability by sending performance and usage info to us. As you use Firefox, Telemetry measures and collects non-personal information, such as memory consumption, responsiveness timing and feature usage. It then sends this information to Mozilla on a daily basis and we use it to make Firefox better for you.

Telemetry is an opt-in feature. This means that you specifically need to tell Firefox to collect and send this information to us. For more about what kind of information is collected and how it's used, see our privacy policy.

How do I opt-in or opt-out of sending performance data?

1. After you install or update Firefox you may be presented with the following message: "Help improve Aurora by sending anonymous usage information to Mozilla?"
2. Tap Yes to send daily usage information to Mozilla.

You can also turn this on or off at any time in your Settings:

1. Tap the Menu button below the screen, select More and then choose Settings.

2. Check or uncheck the box next to Send performance data in the Privacy & Security section of your Firefox Settings.
