    Call me when they remove it.

    Mozilla [is] asking for user data in order to operate Firefox

    I’m confused. Isn’t Firefox an autonomous application? Like it could be “programmed” to do stuff without asking Mozilla every time? Why am I not operating Firefox, why is it Mozilla?

      Exactly. Mozilla doesn’t “operate” Firefox. Firefox is a binary application on my computer. I operate Firefox. They develop Firefox. Huge difference
