Collecting HealthReport data without transmitting any of it about privacy-settings HOT 5 OPEN

datareporting.healthreport.service.firstRun enables it

from privacy-settings.

@Atavic Thanks very much. Setting that pref to true, correct?

from privacy-settings.

It is set as true only when you run firefox for the first time, you can modify user.js and then open the browser.

But wait, do you want it enabled but without sending its results? If so, leave service enabled but
user_pref("datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled", false);

from privacy-settings.

Just enable all the options but remove the URL one so it has no F idea where to send it - u already know where all these prefs are listed for you @Gitoffthelawn

/* 0333a: disable health report ***/
user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled", false);
user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.documentServerURI", ""); // (hidden pref)
user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.service.enabled", false); // (hidden pref)
/* 0333b: disable about:healthreport page (which connects to Mozilla for locale/css+js+json)
 * If you have disabled health reports, then this about page is useless - disable it
 * If you want to see what health data is present, then this must be set at default ***/
user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.about.reportUrl", "data:text/plain,");
/* 0334: disable new data submission, master kill switch (FF41+)
 * If disabled, no policy is shown or upload takes place, ever
 * [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1195552 ***/
user_pref("datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled", false);

So reset them all except datareporting.healthreport.documentServerURI. That should work for you

from privacy-settings.

@Thorin-Oakenpants Interesting idea. Without tracing through the code, though, I don't know if it handles it gracefully. I somehow doubt Mozilla tested it.
