Hello,

At trisquel's abrowser we found that

toolkit.telemetry.enabled

doesn't mean what we thought it meant, as

toolkit.telemetry.unified

as while unifed is on, toolkit.telemetry.enabled will be locked on "true".

See more here:

https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/telemetry/internals/preferences.html

We also found some pings data being recorded on the browser.

And it was all disabled with this commit: 

https://gitlab.trisquel.org/trisquel/package-helpers/-/commit/262301faf6ff77768d4c298058238da0604db857

Hopefully that will help you remove such behavior on IceCat.

Best regards.
