Mozilla's recent changes to Firefox's data practices and privacy policies have caused significant unrest among its user base. The introduction of new Terms of Use on February 27, 2025, shifted the company's data control, giving them a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to user-uploaded information. This shift concerns users, as it suggests potential exploitation for advertising or AI training. Mozilla's previous commitment to privacy, including a promise not to sell personal data, has been diluted, leading many long-time Firefox fans to abandon the browser in search of better privacy protections.
Over the years, tens of millions of other Firefox users and I have given up on the browser due to recent controversial changes to data practices and privacy policies.
Mozilla's updated privacy policies have effectively retracted previous commitments, unsettling users who were once assured that their personal data would remain protected.
With new Terms of Use, Mozilla now claims a royalty-free license to use any information uploaded through Firefox, leading to fears of data exploitation for advertisements.
The recent alteration of Firefox's privacy stance, erasing previous promises, has left users feeling betrayed and questioning the trustworthiness of the browser.
