delete hello contacts
How can I delete all contacts from Hello? I imported my Google Contacts. Now I have 600 contacts in Firefox Hello. I would like to remove them all. I don't foresee actually using Hello. I perceive it as a bit of a privacy concern for Hello to keep any of them, let alone all of them. I know how much Mozilla cares about user privacy. (Clicking the vertical three dots menu next to a contact shows a delete option, but it's disabled. Also, deleting 600 entries one at a time would be a bit tedious.)

hi shawn , you can do the following in order to remove all contacts again:
go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, click on profile folder/show folder and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the folder named idb contained within the \storage\persistent\chrome\ subfolders - restart firefox afterwards.

So, no UI? And all the data is stored locally; no sync to cloud nor sync to other Fx installations?
yes, there is (and will be) no UI for this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1083296 and the data is only stored locally in your firefox profile...
