> You give Mozilla all rights necessary to operate Firefox, including processing data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice, as well as acting on your behalf to help you navigate the internet. 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.

This language is not present in ANY other web browser's terms of use. I am a professional artist and this is a direct attack on my rights to my own content that I made with my own two hands. I'm not granting Mozilla rights to jack **bleep**. Firefox used to be the browser I recommended to everyone, for such great support and so many great features. If this doesn't get changed, I'll switch so fast it'll make your head spin.

Change it or I walk, and I'll tell my friends to walk too. This is embarrassing for Mozilla.

The phrase "acting on your behalf to help you navigate the internet" is also incredibly broad.  It almost reads like we are giving FireFox power of attorney to go out and sign up for stuff on our behalf.  It smells like some of the new AI agents I have heard about that drive your browser for you, which is frankly horrifying from my perspective.  I definitely would not want any kind of AI agent "acting on my behalf" in the future because unfortunately the current landscape for consumers today is such that things people "navigate" on the internet can have legal implications, and the tech companies appear to be the ones writing the rules about these things rather than consumers.

The audacity with which Mozilla acts like users will just roll over and accept unhinged crypto, AI, and other BS "experiments" they decide to enact on us is **bleep**ing unthinkable. They have proven over and over that they want to push boundaries to stay competitive. Sure, sounds great. But the moment you assign YOURSELF license to MY stuff, with extraordinarily expansive verbiage, I am no longer cool with that. These terms need to be narrowed down significantly before I will accept them. The browser market sucks in 2025 but I am literally more willing to sit down with each member of my family and each of my friends and take hours to configure each person's weird browser, than I am willing to accept over-reaching terms of use from a browser that happily advertises a password manager.
