if the start a conversation thing is a great way to spy on me WHY ARE YOU STILL USING IT?

The selected solution only removes the button from toolbar, however the code, ports and connection to loop is still open and firefox can be connected using that port, which is a very good backdoor for spying!

To remove it completely one have to open omni.ja file and remove all the scripts related to loop ("start a conversation" and "share this page") which is impossible to open because its format is not a standard zip and tools to open it does not exists anymore (outdated, removed or not working anymore).

if there was a good intention of making this stuff, firefox developers could put it as an extension which was possible to enable/disable. I want it removed from my browser and don't want to see this kind of stuff on it again. If a checkbox to enable javascript makes firefox complicated, this one for sure does a hell worst job in complicating problems. JUST REMOVE IT

Hi.

You don't have to use the share option nor conversation via Hello. Anyway they are not spying you.

And for example Hello can be disabled easily by switching loop.enabled preference in about:config to false, if you really want to.
