After Mozilla faced heavy criticism for their Terms of Use regarding user data on Firefox, they have now agreed to backtrack and adjust the problematic language to make it clearer. The revised statement explicitly states that Mozilla will not claim ownership of user data.
By using Firefox, you grant Mozilla the necessary rights to operate the browser. This includes processing your data according to the Firefox Privacy Notice and utilizing the content you input for your online interactions. It is important to note that this does not transfer ownership of your content to Mozilla.
Furthermore, Mozilla affirms that they will not sell or purchase user data. Any data sharing with advertising companies, such as displaying ads on the New Tab page for revenue, will anonymize personal information to protect user privacy.
TLDR: Mozilla has updated their Terms of Use to clarify that they do not claim ownership of user data and will prioritize user privacy in data sharing practices.
