Mozilla Introducing 'Terms of Use' to Firefox

Disabled auto-update until this is clarified or alternatives can be found.

I for one don't agree to these 'terms of use'. If people are failing to understand Mozilla's legalese, it is Mozilla's fault for making them ambiguous and difficult to understand. They earned 650 million dollars last year. Surely they have the resources for the task.

I would expect half of that is funding developers for their numerous different projects. How naive would that assumption be?

You seem to be in the ballpark : "260 million for 'software development expenses'" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation#Finances

Still that leaves ~ 400 million dollars for a privacy policy that doesn't read like it came from a sleazy big-tech company.
