In 2023, a significant portion of Firefox downloads came from unknown sources. We believe many of them came from 3rd party websites that let you download Firefox. While some websites are okay, others can put you at risk of downloading an old version or a build with the wrong locale, leading to security risks, a bad user experience, or even malicious installations. Help the Firefox team to uncover this mystery by taking part in the Firefox 3rd-party installer campaign!

To take the survey, go to this campaign page and scroll down to the “take part” button to get the survey in your language. I basically just told them that I install Firefox ESR from Chocolatey. They were really interested in locale strings like “en-US”.

*wonder whether my downloads of apks from ftp.mozilla.org count as unknown since when I install them they should have no way to track where the download came from
*click the (hidden behind a url shortener) join campaign link
“Firefox Gayriresmî Yükleyici Kampanyası”
They have already removed that link, it looks like. But I guess we need to wait to see what is actually going on.
