Rick - I've never know anyone to post such cryptic posts as you.
Would you like to explain what you are talking about because I doubt any of us are mind readers and certainly not me.

LOL rick are you talking about Mozilla's telemetry?
-
Yep,

I'll let you have this one, Julian :lol

alternative to firefox i like to use is comodo's ice dragon and a alternative to chrome i like to use is comodo's comodo dragon browser and if you want extra security to that i run it sandboxed with comodos internet security free version but that is me Lol i have a computer that way over powered compared to the normal average computers that this is really light weight to me.

Open Firefox "Options" > "Advanced" > "Data Choices" and uncheck all the boxes.
And/ Or, enter "about:config" in the address bar (without the "s), and set the following as below:
toolkit.telemetry.archive.enabled to false
toolkit.telemetry.enabled to false
toolkit.telemetry.unified to false
Or in a similar vein to Julian' suggestion, Pale Moon and Sandboxie work well, and that is on a super low spec machine.

Hi, Samson, I do not know anything about telemetry. What is this thread about? How could you guess about telemetry and firefox. I am using firefox . Is firefox , is spying ? I am updating firefox and using for ever. Please, anyhow, i will make those things. Let me know, what this about?

Hi, I have checked the link and also saw some of the posts.
i did as you say in the options, advanced menu. The second toolkit.telemetry is by default in false position and so left it as it is . But on completing the commands , suddenly i experienced black screen , with no monitor, no browsing .. etc.
i just saw the monitor blue light just staying for some minutes. I just force close the computer by power off and then rebooted . The first boot was not success , but second success. Is that anything to do with disabling this telemetry entries
-
Very, very unlikely that changing browser settings would affect PC boot.

Hi, Rick, would you give some more lines. Which file i have to delete. You mean the firefox application? If a word is added to your crisp reply, the exact thing would be known.

So, did you uninstall Firefox or Windows OS?
I would have thought that in China there are far greater powers keeping a closer eye on your online activity than Mozilla :wink:
