There are 800 ways to install Firefox, even through Microsoft Store, people don’t need to download it, I mean, people don’t even need to download Firefox at all, Microsoft includes Edge now and MacOS have the Safari which is okay as well. But, hey, we’re all like special agents in that we have to be aware of not only the bad guys but as well of the “good guys”, those who track us for our good, to protect us, for a better e-experience … See what they’ve done to me, ma? Twenty years ago when I started surfing on the Web I’d post my name, email and so on (fortunately a good guy told me then to at least always avoid sharing my true “snail-mail” address) and now I behave as a newborn soldier, always cautious, often over-cautious, maybe occasionally paranoid. I just dislike IDs hanging around and if my battle doesn’t change anything at least it doesn’t harm. Setting both to “” (about:config or with user.js) doesn’t change anything, but because I set pref values with Firefox Autoconfig rather than with a user.js file I can clear both on start and this time they are rebuilt but with different values :ĬlearPref(“”) ĬlearPref(“”) Īm I over-reacting? Maybe. No idea what the second relates to, but the first is surprising given all telemetry is blocked here. I just downloaded FF98.0 from the latter and it’s exactly the same as the installer from the former : hence, no dltoken identifier.īesides this dltoken, there are two more IDs right in a Firefox’s profile, in the prefs.js file, accessible as well in about:config : AND I always download the installer from but I do acknowledge provided in the article. I do download a new installer each time a new Firefox version is released and perform a clean install (previous version is uninstalled).
