Firefox collects technical and interaction data to understand how you use the browser and to make it better for everyone. This data helps Mozilla fix bugs, improve performance, and add features that people love.

This article explains what data is collected, how Mozilla uses it, and how you can turn off technical and interaction data collection on your device.

What is technical and interaction data?

Technical and interaction data is information about how Firefox functions on your device and how you use its features. This includes performance details like page load times, and memory usage, as well as insights into which Firefox features you interact with, such as bookmarks, tabs, or settings. Additionally, it collects general device information, including your operating system, browser version, and hardware specifications. Mozilla gathers this data to enhance Firefox while respecting your privacy.

This data doesn’t include information like your browsing history, search queries, or saved passwords.

Where can I learn more about what specific data is collected?

For a more detailed view of the technical and interaction data collected by Firefox, see the definitions in the Glean Dictionary.
