This FAQ may help answer any questions you have about FHR, how it works, the
proposed data set associated with the feature and how we'll protect and use
that data:
https://blog.mozilla.org/metrics/firefox-health-report/fhr-faq/
What's the difference between this and current telemetry already
included? Also, will this data be accessible publicly?
The data in FHR is oriented around longitudinal metrics about the overall
performance and stability of the application whereas Telemetry is designed to
analyze very specific and detailed data about the performance of specific
portions of Firefox browser code. Telemetry uses measurements that are usually
millisecond in precision, and there is no way to connect the performance of an
installation from day to day to see how it changes.
All of the data collected by FHR is available on the client itself and
aggregate information will be available for comparison to the local client data
via the built in health report page.
Ok. But why is this opt-out? Current Firefox performance metrics like
Testpilot and Telemetry ask users to opt-in before it starts collecting
and transmitting data.
