And they don’t have that permission. Why is everyone skipping over the part of the sentence that specifies that this is only “for the purpose of doing as you request”. As you request! This is night and day to any other TOS I’ve ever read.

Seriously. Imagine the despair at Mozilla as no matter what they do, people they help and who support FOSS and privacy, tear them apart - seemingly out of habit, or like it's the cool thing to do.

You say this like there are not ample valid reasons to criticize Mozilla.

[mmooss]

I don't believe there are. The fact that so many pile on is evidence they are wrong - Internet mobs are a strong signal of unreliability.

You don't believe there are any valid reasons to criticize Mozilla?

[mmooss]

What do you get out of this, bringing down Mozilla and arguing senselessly on the Internet?

"for the purpose of doing as you request" is still permission for using my own content, no matter how limited the scope they want to make it look like. It's not Mozilla Corp itself that is processing my inputs behind the scenes when I upload my photos to Imgur, is it? It's my own locally installed copy of Firefox.
