In response to users’ feedback about the Firefox Terms of Use, Mozilla updated some of the language about data usage. Mozilla also updated its Privacy FAQ.

Critics said the new terms implied Mozilla was asking users for the rights to whatever data they input or upload through Firefox.

The Firefox maker prompted concern when a section of its FAQ that said it 'never has' and 'never will' sell people's data recently disappeared.

The browser developer said concerns that the updated language allows it to do whatever it wants with users' data is unjustified.

Mozilla has responded to user backlash over the Firefox web browser’s new Terms of Use, which critics have called out for using overly broad language that appears to give the browser maker the rights to whatever data you input or upload.

The company behind Firefox, Mozilla, has this week made changes to its data sharing policy and, in turn, infuriated its users.

Mozilla is revising its new Terms of Use for Firefox introduced on Wednesday following criticisms over language that seemed to give the company broad ownership over user data. With the change, “we’re updating the language to more clearly reflect the limited scope of how Mozilla interacts with user data,” the company says in a Friday post.

Mozilla revises Firefox terms of service after backlash, clarifying data ownership and privacy policies in response to user concerns about data handling and licensing language.
