    I'm sorry for the confusion.

    Your initial post sounded to me like all entries were 2018, but most have just been added.

    Indeed not all entries might affect each Firefox version. Since the profile cannot easily and safely be linked to a specific version, we always immunize all.

    Some are also "flexible" - think about browser.safebrwosing.provider.*.gethashURL and .updateURL for example. They're only existing after SafeBrowsing has been used in our test case.

    If you've got both BrowsAlyzer and Anti-Beacon installed, BrowsAlyzer will match entries in the various Mozilla config files to Anti-Beacons database in a simply overview. But that does of course not include what Firefox shows as undefined with default.

    I understand, but these entries are from different Anti-Beacon section (Mozilla Firefox Safe Browsing). I was talking about the only particular section called "Mozilla Firefox Telemetry (via Configuration)". It contains a total of 28 entries, none of which can be called "flexible" in any way. Seven of them do not exist in the latest version of Firefox, thus can't be modified at all:

    Mozilla Config: toolkit.telemetry.rejected
    Mozilla Config: toolkit.telemetry.unifiedIsOptIn
    Mozilla Config: toolkit.telemetry.hybridContent.enabled
    Mozilla Config: datareporting.healthreport.service.enabled
    Mozilla Config: toolkit.telemetry.prompted
    Mozilla Config: toolkit.coverage.opt-out
    Mozilla Config: toolkit.telemetry.coverage.opt-out

    That's why it looked like that part of your list is from 2018.

    If you want to immunize all versions of Firefox, even very old ones, this makes sense.

    I don't have BrowsAlyzer installed, because it's marked as pre-release. I wanted to wait for some stable release version to try it.
