Mozilla has responded to user backlash over the Firefox web browser's new Terms of Use, which critics have called out for using overly broad language that

The terms had been criticized for appearing to give Mozilla broad ownership of user data, but the company now wants to emphasize the limited ways it uses your data.

The company behind Firefox, Mozilla, has this week made changes to its data sharing policy and, in turn, infuriated its users.

“Royalty-free” was used because Firefox is free and neither Mozilla nor the user should owe each other money in exchange for handling the data in order to provide the browser. And “worldwide” was used because Firefox is available worldwide and provides access to the global internet.

Mozilla has released a new Terms of Use agreement for Firefox users where it grants itself a full license to use all information users upload or enter.

Mozilla has been a strong advocate of user privacy on the internet. As specified in the company’s manifesto, it believes that people’s privacy is “fundamental” and “must not be treated as optional.” In this context, users have called out the current changes to Mozilla’s Terms of use and FAQs and say that they go against its own principles.
