The Mozilla Corporation is completely owned by the Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit with a manifesto https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/details/ that reads in part, "Individuals’ security and privacy on the Internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional."

Somehow the part about privacy seems to refer to a 'special' form of privacy... look at FF hello:

Mozilla about FF Hello [1]: "Firefox Hello is provided to you in collaboration with TokBox, Inc. ("TokBox") and sends data to TokBox as a part of the function of the service."

Tokbox (Telefonica)[2]: "We neither rent nor sell your information to anyone. We don’t share your information with other organizations or individuals outside of TokBox, except as described below"

below: - "With our affiliates and trusted business partners that cooperate with us to provide you our services" - "We may share Aggregate Data publicly and with our partners."

Please try to contact Mozilla and tell me who these 'trusted business partners' are. I tried and did not get anywhere...

I am a former customer of Telefonica and they sure tried very hard to appear as a 'will mug you for money' type of company.

What worries me more is that freedom isn't mentioned as fundamental.

How could Mozilla restrict your freedom? I guess they could hire lobbyists or something but that seems unlikely.

I assume they are referring to software freedom as described by Richard Stallman: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
