yazan: Firefox kullanıcısı 18842995, bir yıl önceWhen 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.

gönderilme: bir yıl önceHello! 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.

EDIT: Thanks for clarification - makes sense, sorry for the bad review.Geliştiricinin yanıtı
gönderilme: 2 ay önceHello! The FDM extension only sends the data needed to start downloads in the FDM app. The anonymous data notice was added just to comply with Mozilla’s requirements.
If you’re not comfortable with this, you can choose not to install the extension. We appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll take this into account before leaving a lower rating. Thank you! - 5 üzerinden 3 puanyazan: Firefox kullanıcısı 19707915, 2 ay önce

gönderilme: 2 ay önceHello! 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. If you find this unacceptable, you can always choose not to install the extension. We appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll consider this before leaving a lower rating. Thank you.- 5 üzerinden 5 puanyazan: Firefox kullanıcısı 19794599, 3 ay önce

gönderilme: 2 ay önceHello! The extension requires data transfer to the FDM app to function properly, and due to Mozilla’s policies, your consent is necessary for this process. If you choose not to allow it, the extension won’t be able to work and may remove itself. Geliştiricinin yanıtı

- 5 üzerinden 3 puanyazan: Firefox kullanıcısı 14172993, 8 ay önceWell I was also a bit annoyed by the consent and immidiatly install, but then I've read the comments here. And you can definitly improve your wording in the addon. If you had written hey its because mozilla has introduced that new policy I would have understood it immidiatly, but like its now I was not sure why you need to do that.
Lets see how good the extension is :D - 5 üzerinden 1 puanyazan: 1Beardrinks2Beers, 9 ay önce
