Have been playing around with Firefox with the aim of finding out whether I can remove the telemetry entirely. The answer is not easily. It would be a more involved project.
Firefox sends telemetry to 52.88.27.118 unencrypted so that third parties will also be able to see what's going on. Since this is opt out it must be a major data exfiltration route.
I've blocked that IP address within #freedombone just to be on the safe side, although it's not expected that anyone will have Firefox installed on a server.

@david_ross @devnull Still.... no telemetry should go unencrypted. Please report a bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org
@devnull as I mention in other threads in this conversation, this call is taking place during the BUILD SYSTEM of the developer build process. This code does not ship to end users in final versions of Firefox. To be fair in testing this same test should be carried out using final versions.
