They've admitted to it in their github. It even happens when you've changed the default search engine, and set the new tab to about:blank.

Why do people keep acting like firefox is a privacy respecting browser?
It may be true that browsing about:addons (as described in the cited source) pings Google analytics (untested by me), but the source bug report also links to this description of legal contracts between Mozilla and Google that clearly show that Google is prevented from mining or sharing this data. Google may stil have access to the data (couldn't find a reference), but I'm sure UBO has a thing or two to say about that.

Based browsers
Firefox has google analytics built in to spy on users.

No more updates to Firefox's Blocked Add-ons list?
As for "why", the current blocklist is able to scale a lot more than the previous versions. Combined with the fact that this page wasn't super useful per se, we decided to not recreate such a page. See also: https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issues/9216

addons.mozilla.org triggers XPI download
This looks like a bug. I filed an issue for that and submitted a patch.

58% of Hacker News, Reddit and tech-savvy audiences block Google Analytics
If you're referring to Firefox using Google Analytics for the Firefox Add-ons frontend, as of July 2017, Firefox has disabled Google Analytics for any browser that has Do Not Track enabled.

This change was made in response to pressure from HN readers, so thanks to everyone for that.

Problems I Have with GNU Philosophy
How does something being open source inherently make it more ethical? Is an OSS that spys on all of your information more ethical than a proprietary software that doesn't? It's not like it's an impossibility for OSS to be malicious!

You know what, Fuck you
Because Firefox is also horrible, THEY USE GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Mozilla should add this feature from the Chrome Web Store!
I made an issue for this on GitHub. Give it a thumbs up if you're interested! https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/issues/10087

Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (January 2024)
Location: Ireland (Galway)
Remote: yes
Willing to relocate: yes
Technologies: Go ("Golang"), Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Linux, Unix, PostgreSQL
Résumé/CV: https://www.arp242.net/cv/cv-martintournoij
Email: [email protected]
I've been using Go as my primary language for the last seven years, although I don't overly care about the specific language and have experience with a wide variety of tools and languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, C, JavaScript, Lua, and probably some more. While I've mainly focused on backend in the last few years, I also have written plenty of frontend code over the years, from the "pre-jQuery" days to VueJS.
In the last few years I mainly focused on GoatCounter (https://www.goatcounter.com) with the occasional contract job, but I'm keen to start working on something new for the longer term.
I've got quite a bit of code on my GitHub, so you can take a look at that if you want: https://github.com/arp242/

Using Analytics on My Website
I suggest using analytics that you can self-host, like https://www.goatcounter.com/ and renting a cheap vm to run it on along with your blog. It is way better, you have more control and you can be sure that javascript tracking is working for 100% of people using the site since you have full control over it not getting blocked by adblockers.

Ask HN: Is Google Analytics that useful?
I'm self-hosting GoatCounter and using it across all my websites.
Apart from controlling my data, I also have more accurate visitor statistics, as it doesn't get picked up by script blockers, unlike GA.

What has your personal website/blog done for you?
I first used basic google analytics but found it too invasive/heavy so I switched over to https://www.goatcounter.com/.
For comments, most solutions were also too heavy, paid or had ads, but I finally found https://giscus.app/.
So while I did add these 2 features, I'm happy with those variants that I managed to find.
