Mozilla Firefox changed privacy policy, said- 'We listen to users seriously'
Mozilla: Last week, Mozilla released new terms of use for Firefox, in which some such words were used which made it seem that the company is getting extensive ownership rights over the users' data, i.e. users' data is being accessed.

After all kinds of complaints from users, Mozilla has admitted that it welcomes people's input. Mozilla is a non-profit organization. It has updated its new terms of use. Actually, last week Mozilla introduced new terms of use for Firefox, in which some such words were inserted which created the impression that the company is acquiring broad ownership rights over the users' data, i.e. users' data is being accessed.
The first version of these terms said: “When you upload or input information through Firefox, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use your information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content through Firefox.”
The statement was met with strong criticism from users on social media, which increased pressure on the company. Now this controversial clause has been removed from the new Terms of Use and replaced with additional clarification.
The revised terms now say, “You grant Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox, including saving your data as described in the Firefox Privacy Notice. You also grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use the content you enter into Firefox in the way you wish. This does not give Mozilla ownership of that content.”
Mozilla clarified that the legal definition of 'selling data' is both broad and changing. Many companies are uncertain whether they are 'selling data' or not. We heard the users' feedback, especially the parts about licensing. We just wanted to clarify how Firefox works, but it caused confusion and alarm.
Overall, the company declares that it is dedicated to users' privacy and does not track users. Apart from that, it does not share users' data with any third-party company and does not sell data.
