> Add-ons Blocklist: Firefox contacts Mozilla once per day to check for add-on 
> information to check for malicious add-ons. This includes, for example: browser > version, OS and version, locale, total number of requests, time of last request, > time of day, IP address, and the list of add-ons you have installed. You can

This links to https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/how-to-opt-out-of-add-on-metadata-updates/

That page is incorrect. The correct pref is extensions.blocklist.enabled 

I suspect this page may be out of date regarding technical opt-out information in more than one place.
