The Telemetry feature provides this capability by sending performance and usage information to Mozilla. As you use Firefox, Telemetry measures and collects non-personal information, such as memory consumption, responsiveness timing and feature usage. This information is then sent to Mozilla on a daily basis and used to make Firefox better for you. {for not fx56}Telemetry is an opt-in feature.
