The whole clause is weird because Mozilla doesn't operate Firefox; the user does. So at face value, "you give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox" means you give Mozilla no rights, but obviously that's not the intent. Then they explicitly list a couple examples, but don't say the granted rights are limited to those examples, so the clause could mean practically anything.
I'm curious if any lawyers can comment on how courts would be likely to interpret the clause.
- halJordan 2y agoUser agents do a lot, even innocuous things like spell check or SafeBrowsing. Pretending like a browser simple retrieves and renders html is either really funny or dishonest
- GrantMoyer 2y agoI don't understand your comment. I didn't say or suggest a browser only renders HTML. Are you saying Mozilla did?
