Information
This setting configures if Firefox can send recommendations on extensions based on user data as they navigate the web.
Rationale:
Enabling recommended extensions could allow data to be transmitted to a third-party, which could lead to sensitive data being exposed.
Impact:
Recommendations on extensions will not be extended to users.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration, set extensions.htmlaboutaddons.recommendations.enabled to false:
Type about:config in the address bar
Type extensions.htmlaboutaddons.recommendations.enabled in the filter
Ensure the setting is set as prescribed.
OR
Open the mozilla.cfg file in the installation directory with a text editor
Add the following lines to mozilla.cfg:
lockPref('extensions.htmlaboutaddons.recommendations.enabled', false);
Default Value:
True (Enabled).
