Firefox Terms of Use
Effective February 25, 2025
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/
"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."
so, let it be clear:
I DO NOT CONSENT to Mozilla Corp. accessing or using ANYTHING i type in my browser, whether to serve ads, train LLMs or ANYTHING.
Are you quitting #Firefox?
OK, so dear #Fediadvice
It seems Mozilla are turning horrible with the TOU of #Firefox. We have #Librewolf as an alternative, so I'm looking at that.
But this is the same Mozilla that does #Thunderbird Mail. Are they going to change the rules there too? Email is, arguably, a LOT more sensitive than stuff I do in a browser.
What alternative would be good (on Linux) for IMAP mail if they do that?
Annnnd.... GO!
Use Firefox? Mozilla Says it Can Use Your Data However it Wants.
"When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information," says Mozilla. Considering Mozilla is now an advertising company and a "Global Crew of Activists" this is especially concerning.
Lunduke Journal:Use Firefox? Mozilla Says it Can Use Your Data However it Wants.
The #Debian project packages #Firefox as 'firefox-esr'.
(Please don't offer speculation, I'm asking for substantiated information) Will that package continue to package a #FreeSoftware Firefox browser, as it does today? How?
The odious "terms of use" that #MozillaCorp intends to erect as a barrier to #SoftwareFreedom, is incompatible with the DFSG. How will this be resolved? Cease to package Firefox in Debian? Strip any imposed barrier and continue the free Firefox package? Or what?
exactly this: mozilla does not need to use the input that users enter into firefox, mozilla as a legal entity is not involved in the operation of software on your own computer. the only possible applications of this license grant are nefarious https://mastodon.social/@sarahjamielewis/114078096843471877
hence my conclusion has to be: either these license clauses are redundant and should be removed, or firefox is malware
In case you were wondering what Mozilla is doing nowadays:
"When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information […]"
so am i reading this right? the firefox browser as distributed by mozilla is proprietary now and includes a predatory terms of use that claims rights to all of your data?
i do not accept this at all. fuck off mozilla
There is also the incredibly broad "To comply with applicable laws, and identify and prevent harmful, unauthorized or illegal activity." in which Mozilla states they may gather "all data types" - among the defined types include: searches, browsing data (visited URLS), content and any other data.
In support of nebulously defined "identify and prevent harmful," and in response to law enforcement.
That "learn more about" link just goes to a list of definitions.
Just an anime profile pic with an opinion that matters.
