Notification to invite me to make Mozilla default browser is manipulative
Hi,
I'm a little frustrated, I love Mozilla and it's normally high on the list of favourite apps. I was a bit shocked to recieve a notification on my phone saying 'install Mozilla as your default browser to avoid creepy trackers' (or v similar) I can normally rely on Mozilla to operate outside of fear mongering and emotive prompts to manipulate you into doing things it wants. Is this going to be a pattern or was this just a one off?

I don't work for Firefox but a lot of this is not emotive or fearmongering, it's true. Firefox blocks thousands of web trackers that track you.
I don't know whether if it's a one-off or a pattern but if you don't want the notification then just disable them.
