Avoid sending a token when downloading, then send thousands of metrics to Mozilla when double clicking firefox.exe (Not necessarily saying it's bad, just the least of your worries)
According to Mozilla, the token is used to analyze download/install rates. This looks something that I'd like to send back to Mozilla for a better browser and market share.
Will updating via the built in browser functionality keep the install token free?
you mean i have to bypass my package manager?
I think this is in reference to Mozilla sending Windows installers with built-in download tokens. I don't think this affects Linux/BSD.
