If every distro uses a different key, then Google can distinguish which
distro users are using. Wouldn't that qualify as a privacy breach? IIRC,
we explicitely don't send the google cookie for safebrowsing. If we
don't do that for geoloc, that would seem like a bug. OTOH, they can
probably correlate with the google cookie the user is already using in
the same browser... So while using a different key means more
information available to google, is it actually making things worse than
they already are?

That being said, doesn't shipping those keys in the source packages in
distros breach their TOS?

Title:
  Ubuntu build of Firefox lacks Google OAuth ID, prevents contact import
  in Hello

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Starting from verstion 34.0, Firefox, including Ubuntu build thereof, supports WebRTC based voice/video communication feature named "Hello":
  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hello-make-receive-calls-without-account

  This feature works in Ubuntu build, except importing contacts from Google account:
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1106854
  Attempt to import contacts results in this Google error page:
  ====
  401. That’s an error.

  Error: invalid_client

  The OAuth client was not found.
  Request Details

      response_type=code
      redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob:auto
      client_id=no-google-oauth-api-clientid
  ====

  Apparently, for the import feature to work, the build needs to include Google OAuth Client ID. The process is discussed here:
  https://wiki.mozilla.org/Loop/OAuth_Setup

  Apparently, Ubuntu's build of Firefox does not include this Client ID.
  Please consider adding it. Hopefully then "Hello" will be fully functional, including contacts import.
