Firefox now has Terms of Use! This'll go over like a lead balloon.
> You give Mozilla all rights necessary to operate Firefox, including processing data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice, as well as acting on your behalf to help you navigate the internet. When you **upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information** to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox.

**Update:** See below in the thread for their clarification.
I fully believe that they didn’t intend for it to sound so… all encompassing, but this update makes me even more confused. What data is “uploaded” to firefox? I just thought Firefox was the browser, not some website. Do they mean the services Mozilla offers?
The privacy notice document lists how each data type is used. It includes in-browser ads on the new tab page, AI chatbots, and “to market our services”.
They’ve released an update, and I’m just generally confused: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-news/firefox-terms-of-use/

Tastes like “I’m sorry you feel that way”

I’m glad I use a fork, even if it much more unstable. Kind of want servo to become stable and someone to make a browser based on that.
Maybe that’s why Mozilla quit contributing to it.
Or why do they have a world wide right for anything entered into Firefox.
