Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you enable data collection by default?

This helps us gain valuable insight into how our mobile products are performing so that we can improve those products.

Data collection is turned off by default in Firefox Klar. If you enable it, we will only receive the technical and interaction data described above.

Why do you use third-party platforms?

We use third-party platforms for functionality and services that we can’t build internally or when it is more efficient to use another service. Learn more about our use of Firebase and adjust GmbH.
