Firefox Health Report (Obsolete)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
**Firefox Health Report (FHR) is obsolete and no longer ships with Firefox.
|
|
This documentation will live here for a few more cycles.**
|
|
|
|
Firefox Health Report is a background service that collects application
|
|
metrics and periodically submits them to a central server. The core
|
|
parts of the service are implemented in this directory. However, the
|
|
actual XPCOM service is implemented in the
|
|
``data_reporting_service``.
|
|
|
|
The core types can actually be instantiated multiple times and used to
|
|
power multiple data submission services within a single Gecko
|
|
application. In other words, everything in this directory is effectively
|
|
a reusable library. However, the terminology and some of the features
|
|
are very specific to what the Firefox Health Report feature requires.

Legal and Privacy Concerns
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Because Firefox Health Report collects and submits data to remote
|
|
servers and is an opt-out feature, there are legal and privacy
|
|
concerns over what data may be collected and submitted. **Additions or
|
|
changes to submitted data should be signed off by responsible
|
|
parties.**
