Description

PureBrowser supports collecting telemetry data, and by default uploads such data to Mozilla.

Discussed in detail at Mozilla bugtracker.

Either...

PureBrowser should be built with telemetry reporting support disabled (by use of configure flag or patch), or
PureBrowser should be configured to disable telemetry reporting by default, or
PureOS should include in default install a Mozilla addon to disable telemetry reporting to Mozilla.
