How to opt out from Firefox Health Report

Firefox Health Report considers your browser as a car, collects information about your browsing pattern and  sends it back to the manufacturer which is in this case Mozilla.


Firefox Health Report

However, you can opt out from this service at any point of time. This is what all you have to do:


1. In Firefox, open a new tab and type about:config and press enter. Firefox will give you a warning message, just click on the I'll be careful, I promise! button.

Firefox about:config
















2. You can see a long list of configuration parameters now. Just go to the search field and type/copy paste the following: datareporting.healthreport.service.enabled

Firefox Health Report Service enabled by default
















3. Firefox Health Report service is enabled by default and we have to disable it.

It can be done simply by

  • double clicking on the value or 
  • by right clicking on the value and clicking on Toggle.

That's it. Firefox Health Report service stands disabled and no more sends or collects the information about your browsing behavior.
