In case you're using Firefox on mobile - so myself and like four others - disabling Firefox' new Facebook data collection feature is quite a bit harder than on desktop, but it can be done:

  • Go to chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml
  • Use the search field to find the entry for aboutConfig and enable it
  • Go to about:config
  • Search for dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled and set it to false

    • Done. This only works on Android, because Firefox on iOS is just a Safari skin.

    @thomholwerda Thank you for the tip.

    (But it is just incredible that we have to go through all that just to disable something that should at least have been an opt-in, or shouldn’t have existed at all. 😬)
