@jessienab @mcc the next version of firefox-esr is based on 128, the one with this ad tracking turned on, so will inherit this.
Possibly some of the (linux) distributions will turn the default to 'off' in their repository versions. Debian has been known to correct 'bad' defaults in the past.
@marjolica @jessienab Would it make sense for someone to bring this to the attention of debian and request that when they pick up 128 they do target this default for default disabling?
(I don't know if I would be the right person since I don't use Debian, I use Ubuntu, which ships Firefox via "Snap")
