Extensions allow you to add features to Firefox to customize your browsing experience. Extensions are software programs, most often developed by a third party, that modify the way Firefox works.

## Technical details
In order to associate a client's existing telemetry data to a [TAAR-API](https://github.com/mozilla/taar-api) request during a browser session a one way [sha256 hash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2) of the [telemetry client_id](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/telemetry/telemetry/data/common-ping.html) is exposed via a specific [TAAR preference](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1499470). This preference can be enabled/disabled via the `about:preferences` page in Firefox. The hashed client_id allows us to use existing a subset of Firefox telemetry data sources to build models that can be used to make Web Extension recommendations based (in part) on telemetry.
