In the light of the IRS, NSA and FEC scandals, do you violate or have you been asked by any government agency to violate the US Constitution 4th Amendment? If so, have you been providing privileged information to any governmental agency? Would you provide if asked even if it violates the 4th Amendment?

hello theboss43, this is a primarily community run support forum here and most of us are just normal users like you, so we cannot answer that question authoritatively.

here is mozilla's privacy policy if you are interested in the topic: https://www.mozilla.org/legal/privacy/firefox.html

as a pretext of your question it's probably important to understand what kind of "tracking information", that would interest agencies/governments/etc., mozilla actually has about users and this will be pretty much of very little of interest. the most sensitive part is probably firefox sync which can sync your bookmarks, passwords and history over multiple devices. however it is ensured on a technical level (in a publicly documented cryptographic way), that this data is only available to the users itself. the personal information is encrypted locally on your devices before it is getting transmitted onto mozilla's servers and without the knowledge of the locally generated sync key which is only available to the user it is impossible for mozilla to access or restore this kind of stored encrypted content and therefore it cannot provide this information to third parties either...

We can neither confirm or deny such allegations under threat of imprisonment at a secret detention facility.

I dont speak for mozilla since as philipp said, regular users.

But Mozilla is a part of Stop watching us, so i highly doubt such tracking info, there is a chance your ISP (Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, Time Warner etc.) is sending info to the goverment though.
