What a usage ping is

A daily usage ping is a small measurement that can signal the app was used, rather than a copy of your page contents. Fields and timing depend on the current telemetry configuration.

Current choice

The reviewed source sets general telemetry off by default. A separate usage-ping control may appear in Data collection. If enabled, inherited Mozilla reporting infrastructure may receive the ping.
