Earlier this week, Mozilla announced that it will let Firefox users delete all the telemetry data collected to date in order to comply with the new California Consumer Privacy Act. The feature got rolled out with Firefox 72 version update and today, we will be taking a look at how we can delete them.
For the uninitiated, telemetry data refers to the interaction data and technical data collected by the browser. Interaction data includes information like the number of tabs and windows you open, the number of webpages you visit, browsing session length, and the type of Firefox add-ons you install.
- Open Firefox and click on the hamburger menu (horizontal three lines) present in the top right corner of your browser and find “Options” from the list. Alternatively, you can enter “about:preferences” in your address bar to access Options.
