Mozilla has updated its Terms of Use for the Firefox browser in response to user concerns about broad language that suggested potential data ownership by the company. Critics were worried that Mozilla might exploit data uploaded by users, implying it could be sold to advertisers or AI firms. In the revised terms, Mozilla emphasizes that the rights granted are limited to operating Firefox and that users retain ownership of their content. This update aims to provide clarity and reassurance about the company's data practices.
"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."
"You give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox. This includes processing your data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice. It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox. This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that content."
