Andres Furlan What’s your opinion on this? Is this a valid bug? Unfortunately, I am unable to find the exact info regarding this behavior so we’d need your input on this. Many thanks!

Yes. It is missing the toggle. From the figma, I see that we are missing this:

Andres Furlan after further investigating the current behavior, I would suggest that we should add a “Settings” link in the text string “Protections are OFF. We suggest turning them back on.” instead of the toggle . We don’t have a toggle in the current panel, either, once you turn off ETP from Settings, but you have the possibilty to turn ETP back ON by tapping on “Protection Settings” link. You should decide if you want to mirror the current behavior from this point of view. Please advise. Thanks!

Alexandru Farcasanu lets add a hyperlink from the “Enhanced Tracking Protection” box to Settings (ETP). So the user has the ability to turn it on.

Nicole Weber what do you think about this case? I think we should improve the text inside explaining that is OFF for all sites.

Andres Furlan how should look that hyperlink?

Can someone remind me how to test it? I tried this:  You have to enable it in Settings > Tab on “Firefox 9000” 5x > Feature Flags > Enable New Tracking Protection but couldn’t find the feature flag. TY

Hi Nicole Weber , after enabling the toggle from feature flags, you need to force close and reopen the app and you should see the new panel.

I see two options here in case someone else has a better solution

a) When ETP is disabled for whole app we make the “Enhanced Tracking Protection - Off Section” fully tappable so it takes the user to privacy settings to enable ETP for the whole app.

b) When ETP is disabled for whole app we show a toggle inside “Enhanced Tracking Protection - Off Section” to enable to the whole app. This way user doesn’t need to go to the privacy settings and are protected.

Andres Furlan please, what option do you prefer from the Nishant Bhasin comment?

Option A can be easily implemented. Option B require a design (at least for me as a Dev).

One more thing, I need to know if we change the wording inside the Enhanced Tracking Protection section, if yes, I need the strings.

Thank you!
