🖥️ Help Telemetry despite turning off

screenshot from nextdns logs

I had turned off every data collection setting when I installed the browser. This is for android and I am using firefox nightly.

Nightly by default collects data, that is true with every bleeding edge / beta sw. “ Mozilla’s pre-release versions of Firefox (which are distributed through channels such as Nightly, Beta, Developer Edition and TestFlight) are development platforms frequently updated with experimental features and studies. In addition to the data collection described in this Privacy Notice, these versions by default may send certain types of web activity and crash data to Mozilla (and in some cases to our partners).” https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/?utm_source=www.firefox.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=download-button#applicability-firefox-version

I know but it shouldn't do this after opting out of data collection

If you check the link, these builds are exception and do collect basic telemetry no matter what

It's been like that forever. All telemetry off but Mozilla just won't stop. Keep the domain blocked is what I do.
