"A Mozilla employee addressed these concerns, explaining that the license is essential for Firefox's basic functionality, such as processing searches, and does not imply data ownership beyond what's described in the Privacy Notice. The new policy formalizes existing practices, allowing Firefox to operate as intended, including storing personal information and accessing files for user navigation. Despite some user confusion, software licenses like this are necessary for software operation, and Firefox's new agreement reflects standard industry practices."
