TL;DR: Mozilla is now enforcing data collection as a pre-requisite to access new features in Firefox Labs. This is backed by the Terms of Use that Mozilla introduced a few months ago.

    I guess I just won’t use Firefox labs then. I’m not turning telemetry on.

      This is a workaround to a fundamental problem: You already have the feature installed on your hard drive. It doesn’t require telemetry to run.

      So why is Mozilla artificially requiring you to enable it?

        As long as Firefox is open source, I can strip the requirements and recompile it.

          Good for you. Most people can’t, and being dismissive about this is disturbingly anti-consumer.

            I’m anti capitalist. People who use FOSS aren’t consumers, they’re users.

            Fact is that there are already several forks out there that are more privacy respecting.
