This option is currently on by default (toolkit.telemetry.enabled). For privacy reasons, we should expose this through the privacy section of the prefs flyout. It should be really easy to add, it's just a bool pref.

I need the string you'd like to appear in the pref panel.

The crash reporter one is right above it & it says  "&brandShortName; submits crash reports to help Mozilla make your browser more stable and secure".

Yuan says: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=876021 it says "shares usage statistics about Nightly with Mozilla to help us make your browser better" it's a simplified string compared with what we have on desktop.

I had question about whether or not I should add an entry in the Flyout js, as we dont need it(I think) but it might be worthwhile for completeness & consistency.

I didn't actually apply this patch, but if you say that it does what it says it does I believe you.  Just be sure to run mochitest-metro to make sure we don't break inbound!

We don't need it, but it doesn't hurt.  I don't mind keeping it... or removing it.  Just get rid of the TODO comment :)

Verified as fixed on latest Nightly (build ID: 20130730030204)

The telemetry pref is added to the options flyout and it's set to "ON" by default.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0
Build ID: 20130815030203
Built from http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/a8daa428ccbc

Tested on windows 8 using latest nightly for iteration-12. The telemetry pref is added to the options flyout and it's set to "ON" by default.
Went through the following "Story" for iteration #15 (touch device verification) without issues. Used the following build:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2013-10-15-03-03-19-mozilla-central/

- Went through the original story from comment #0 without any issues
- Ensured that "ON" is selected as the default
- Ensured that disabling "toolkit.telemetry.enabled" switched the option to "OFF"
- Ensured that re-enabling ""toolkit.telemetry.enabled"" switched the option of "ON"
- Ensured all of the above test cases worked in both full and filled views

Brian,

Does the "Enable/Disable" option under "about:telemetry" tie into the "toolkit.telemetry.enabled" that's located in about:config? When I disable it from "about:telemetry", should it trickle down to both the about:config and switch the Option selection to "OFF"? Currently, it will leave everything as enabled even though telemetry has been disabled (not sure if these two are related)
Flags: needinfo?(netzen)
Yep that's definitely a bug and we should triage that for v1. Seems like it's a privacy concern. Please post a new bug for it though. Thanks!
