• Silent update - Windows UAC service in now on Aurora - few patches left to land to complete this work

• Want to collect more data earlier in the dev cycle
• Proposal to make Telemetry opt-out on Nightly and Aurora channels
  • Users will be prompted on first launch in the browser (existing users on first launch after opt-out starts) via a door hangar to inform that Mozilla is collecting data and to provide a link to more information including how to opt-out on these channels
  • about: dialogs will be updated to include a statement about data collection as well
• Telemetry will continue to be opt-in on Release and Beta
• Concerns can be sent to lmandel and sstamm or discussed on #perf or dev.planning
