Firefox will never be the same again.

Mozilla recently introduced a new Terms of Use for Firefox, alongside an updated Privacy Notice. This change aims to clarify user rights and Mozilla’s data handling practices. However, some of the initial wording in the Terms raised concerns among users.

User Concerns and Mozilla’s Response

The original version of the Terms granted Mozilla a "nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license" over user-inputted data, which sparked privacy concerns. Mozilla quickly revised the wording to clarify that it does not claim ownership of user content and only processes data as necessary to operate Firefox.

Removal of "Does Firefox Sell Your Data?"

Another notable change is the removal of the "Does Firefox sell your data?" question from Mozilla’s FAQ. Previously, Mozilla explicitly stated that it does not sell personal data. The new FAQ still highlights Firefox’s privacy features but no longer includes this direct assurance. Mozilla explained that evolving legal definitions of "selling data" led to this change, though it maintains that user data is handled responsibly.

If you are looking for a Firefox alternative then I recommend you should try Zen Browser.
