por Utilizador do Firefox 18842995 , há 5 meses When running addon it has this statement as part of privacy policy:
"If you choose not to allow us to collect anonymous data, the FDM extension will be immediately removed from your browser."
This is not present on the privacy policy shared on firefox addon store.
The main issue is deception, but using such underhanded tactics is not great either. They never disclose what data will be collected or anonymized either.
Edit: found this response "We've implemented the recent anonymous data usage notification only to comply with the latest Mozilla’s requirements."
On one hand it is clearly stated that anonymous data is collected, on the other, this response implies that this is only because mozila required this statement. The only conclusion I can reach is that mozila is asking all addons to add this note no mater if they are collecting data or not, which, while possible, is hard to believe.
Edit 2: Some other comments from developers imply that this is to allow downloads (i.e. you need to send URL to server to download, etc). But all this is already called out separately and in great details outside of this mysterious anonymous telemetry. Thus, this is just necessary.

publicado a há 5 mesesHello! We are very sorry that the consent screen about data transfer have caused so many negative emotions among our users. However, as we've already explained, the FDM extension needs to transfer downloads to the FDM application in order to work. Without this transfer, the extension simply can’t function. Due to the latest Mozilla’s guidelines, this process now requires users to explicitly consent to the data transfer. If you find this requirement unacceptable, you can always uninstall the extension. We appreciate your understanding and hope you will consider this before leaving a lower rating. Thank you.

- Right know as I'm typing this, the extension and the application work perfect, great new design, useful features, no cpu problems, no capture problems or anything else. I have no idea what some people talk about in the reviews, if you installed it and you have issues with the app or extension, it's most likely from your side, I'm completely okay with it, so if anyone looks for a more humane like review with details and not like bots, here's mine.
also don't just act like bots and write a straight up bad review, they have a great support, don't be lazy and reach to them. - Avaliado em 5 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 18904684 , há 11 dias

publicado a há um mêsGreetings! We would like to state once more that the FDM extension only transmits the necessary data to launch downloads in the FDM client. The anonymous data usage alert was implemented purely to meet Mozilla's stipulations. We place great emphasis on our users' privacy and uphold our devotion to preserving transparency about data utilization.- Avaliado em 3 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 19057782 , há 2 meses
