With the new Privacy Policy and TOU what Functionality would be broken if Mozilla hadn't changed them?

more options

With the change in the Privacy policy and TOU for Mozilla, it's been mentioned in several official responses that certain functionality will not be possible going forward without those changes.

If I never use suggestions, hints, or any mozilla services with firefox. Just what functionality becomes a problem that you need to change the "We will never sell your data" and the other equally disturbing "you grant mozilla a irrevocable non-exclusive royalty free right..."?

How about some clear transparency instead of the opaque non-specific statements you've been making?

Loyal users of firefox for the last 20+ years deserve better than this.


Oh, and why can't I remove the search shortcuts for bookmarks, tabs and history, I'd like to map those keys to something else.

Thanks for nothing Mozilla, you apparently don't care at all about users. Good to know where we stand.

Sorry, your questions were somehow invisible up to this moment.

But you use search engines, password-protected websites, web forms, perhaps AI agents and translation feature. General law in different sides of the world is changing over time and the regulators wanted us to provide reliable and legal ToS.

How is your data used?

You're referring to a draft version of Firefox ToS. Current version does not contain anything like this. Please read it. In short, you give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox. I'm not sure what's so scary about it.
