While waterfax highlights a problematic section of Mozilla's change:<p>> UPDATE: We’ve seen a little confusion about the language regarding licenses, so we want to clear that up. We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. Without it, <i>we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox</i>, for example. It does NOT give us ownership of your data or a right to use it for anything other than what is described in the Privacy Notice. (Emphasis mine)<p>And they mention that we need to see the context behind this change -- but what they don't to -- is point out that the update clarification makes the whole situation <i>even more problematic</i> than it was previously.<p>The private notice indicates they use data to:<p>1. To provide and improve search functionality
2. To serve relevant content and advertising on Firefox New Tab
3. To provide Mozilla accounts
4. To provide AI Chatbots
5. To provide Review Checker, including serving sponsored content
6. To provide and enable add-ons (addons.mozilla.org)
7. To maintain and improve features, performance and stability
8. To improve security
9. To understand usage of Firefox
10. To market our services
11. To pseudonymize, de-identify, aggregate or anonymize data
12. To communicate with you
13. To comply with applicable laws, and identify and prevent harmful, unauthorized or illegal activity<p>1,2,4,5,10 are problematic. We don't want those things. Mozilla wants those things. The problem isn't the lack of context behind the changes, the problem is Mozilla wants to be able to use our 'input' data for whatever they want, and I don't want them to.<p>They said they're the privacy focused browser; and they're not. That's a lie. I moved from Chrome to Firefox precisely because I couldn't trust Google. Now I can't trust Firefox.
