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.

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

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
