Telemetry Coverage
Durante una scansione con l'antivirus Avast, mi è uscito nelle voci estensioni dannose la voce: "Telemetry Coverage - Mozilla Firefox"
Ho fatto elimina, rieseguito la scansione e non mi dava piu questo messaggio. Ho disinstallato firefox, reinstallato con ripristino e poi ho ri-effettuato l'analisi e mi ha ridato il problema. Non ho installato nulla se non Adblock (adblockplus.org), ma comunque nei componenti aggiuntivi non mi dà nessun componente che non sia adblock ne prima ne dopo la scansione (con eliminazione del add-on dannoso tramite avast) Ho effettuato anche l'analisi con malware bytes, ma non mi dà nulla ne prima ne dopo.
Se qualcuno può aiutarmi lo ringrazio in anticipo.

I called for more help. Have you asked Avast about this?
Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;
Installed Plug-ins
Shockwave Flash 28.0 r0
Shockwave Flash 31.0 r0
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html Uninstall Flash Player | Mac
Then reinstall the latest version.
Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.
Flash Player Version 31.0.0.108

Ma non è un componente aggiuntivo quindi?

Some users are getting a system add-on named "Telemetry Coverage" with a file or folder name like telemetry-coverage-bug1487578@mozilla.org (I don't have it so I can't confirm).
System extensions usually create an preference you can use to disable them. For this one, look for:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste opt and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the toolkit.telemetry.coverage.opt-out preference to switch the value from false to true
Do you have that preference?

Grazie per l'informazione dettagliata. Temevo fosse un virus.
P.S: Il post su mozillaitalia è sempre mio ahah, sono Hoculus.

Ho controllato con il comando about:config ma non trovo "toolkit.telemetry.coverage.opt-out". Forse perchè con avast antivirus avevo selezionato "Risolvi questo elemento", e di conseguenza lo ha eliminato?

Maybe "Telemetry Coverage" was already removed.
Could you check the "Caratteristiche di Firefox" table on the "Informazioni per la risoluzione dei problemi" page:
Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues
Usually you will see about 10 items. Is "Telemetry Coverage" listed there?

É presente nelle caratteristiche di firefox, devo fare qualcosa per rimuoverlo da li?

I don't think you have to remove it. That was Avast's opinion.

Rifacendo la scansione con avast, mi è uscito a distanza di un giorno, dopo aver utilizzato firefox, nuovamente questo add-on dannoso Telemetry Coverage.
Ignoro e basta? Alla fine è un parametro di firefox, giusto?
It is a Firefox extension created by Mozilla to gather data on whether users are turning off "telemetry" (the Health Report article mentioned earlier). There was more information about it in the blog post: https://blog.mozilla.org/data/2018/08/20/effectively-measuring-search-in-firefox/

Ok, chiaro. Quindi posso ignorarla?

Quindi è un errore che sta capitando a molti utenti? Mi consigli di rimuovere il "Telemetry coverage" con avast, oppure di ignorarlo e lasciarlo in firefox?
Grazie, e scusami se ho sbagliato categoria è la prima volta che uso questo forum.
Best is to leave it for now since this is a system component from Mozilla and contact Avast about this issue to see whether they will fix this because Mozilla probably already contacted them.
