Mozilla last week updated the Firefox user agreement — something that normally does not provoke strong reactions.
This time, however, the changes led to a wave of criticism, because some of the wording can be interpreted as giving Mozilla free rein to do whatever it wants with users’ data. In particular, the following paragraph has raised user ire:
“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”
