Safe browsing has an optional enhanced security mode that pings a central server with the URL of each page visited. When installing or upgrading Firefox, we need to clearly describe enhanced security to the user and provide a way to opt out.

So this server could log IPs with all the URLs visited by the IPs

Yes, but as I recall the default setting is not to do this and only use a downloaded blacklist. I think it would be better (and less scary) for the user if they are only notified of the implications when they switch to the enhanced security mode.

We need to discuss and settle on a plan for this. Comment 2 is correct, enhanced protection should be an opt-in, not an opt-out. We also need to make this as unobtrusive as possible. I'd prefer a solution where the user never sees an additional prompt about this feature.

Requesting blocking to make sure this doesn't get overlooked and suggesting its done for b1.

Is it possible for the EULA to be dynamically updated should there be a change in policy?

Needs handling one way or another.

I think this is now WONTFIX or INVALID. The enhanced anti-phishing protection is opt-in. If there's a feeling that we're not being as clear as we should be with the expression of that option, that would be a bug on that pref page.
