{{note|This FAQ does not describe Telemetry as it is in use in Firefox today. It is part of the proposal to enable Telemetry by default on the Aurora and Nightly channels. See bug 699806 for details.}} | |||

Telemetry is a data collection feature that enables Mozilla's engineers to measure how Firefox on desktop and mobile behaves in the real world. As you use Firefox, Telemetry measures and collects non-personal information about performance, hardware, usage, and customizations. It then sends this information to Mozilla on a daily basis. This information, used in aggregate, allows us to identify new issues and regressions, obtain more specific information about the problem areas in the browser, and, as a result, provide fixes for rising problems more quickly. | Telemetry is a data collection feature that enables Mozilla's engineers to measure how Firefox on desktop and mobile behaves in the real world.
