It's helpful for Mozilla's engineers to be able to measure how Firefox behaves in the real world. As you use Firefox, the Telemetry feature sends technical and interaction data to Mozilla on a daily basis.

To learn more about what data Mozilla receives and how it's used, see Mozilla's Firefox Privacy Notice.

2. Select the Privacy & Security panel.
3. Scroll down to the Firefox Data Collection and Use section.
