m This might be something of a change, but, I decided to add a incident after discovering that Mozilla has changed the firefox's terms of use in regards to the license. I couldn't find any sources, but this is what I have researched so far, I have no idea, but it does seem to be removed entirely. I will include it here for anybody who isn't up to date or just wants to hear a current latest update in the firefox situation. |

Under section "Mozilla Can Update or Terminate This Agreement" in the ToS, it is announced that updates to it will be posted online, and continued use of Firefox is taken as the user's acceptance of the new terms. No mention is made of any other commitment to notify the user (in-browser notification, etc.). In the next section, "Termination", it is explicitly stated that Mozilla will "try to notify [the user]" at their email address or next time they try to access their account, in case Mozilla denies or suspend anyone's access to Firefox. | Under section "Mozilla Can Update or Terminate This Agreement" in the ToS, it is announced that updates to it will be posted online, and continued use of Firefox is taken as the user's acceptance of the new terms.
