Mozilla Discloses Past Relationships with Facebook

A politico&#x2F;Frontline style investigative documentary needs to be happen on the inner workings of Mozilla. Their financial reports are full of red flags (~$130M on marketing and operations in 2016 consutituting ~33% of expenses!!!).<p>Their posturing is much too similar to politicians - &#x27;we work for you the people&#x27;s good&#x27;, and any and all criticism squashed away swiftly under the guise of moral superiority.

So they say that users could import their Facebook contacts onto their Firefox OS phones and that information wasn&#x27;t shared with Mozilla, but what about the &quot;adaptive app search&quot;[1] on Firefox OS? That was implemented by querying a third-party service, &quot;Everything.me&quot;, run by a different company.<p>Did that service get access to contacts? (Aside from the implicit access by way of your contact searches from the system search bar presumably being sent to them as app searches.)<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=H9zwf0VMVDI" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=H9zwf0VMVDI</a>

Needed the access for Firefox OS APIs. Nothing to see here.
