Perhaps as part of the firewall installation step, the user could be
given a list of sites that their PC may "call home" to - including
official repos - and let them opt-in or opt-out accordingly. If we
block, say, *.mozilla.com at the firewall level, there's no chance
that firefox will call home before the user has a chance to set their
preferences.
Ugh .. sorry but that's the worst suggestion so far. No image the user
goes to
http://addons.mozilla.org/ to install addons ... it won't
work. (just one random example but you get the idea).
