I'm willing to give them a pass since this was a development build and while someone probably should've thought of it, it's the kind of bug that can happen. If this was the public release it would be a lot more outrageous.

    Finding out about this gives me some extra questions, though.

    • Was this data summarized on enabling this window, or before?
    • Did it use an existing model, or re-use one that someone may have already downloaded for a different feature?
    • Is this activity going anywhere else, like Mozilla's recent "privacy-preserving" advertising?
    • When this does release, what will the default be?
