They only have license to use the data in order to realize the intent of the user, how much more specific than that can it get?

"The intend of the user is to experience the best browsing experience hence we upload and sell all data for training to improve that experience"

This is why broad "boilerplate" agreements are unacceptable especially from a self proclaimed savior of online privacy such as Mozilla.

And the means of realization are up to Mozilla. In other words they can do whatever they want. If my intent is to type something into the searchbar and get redirected to the search engine website, there is no reason why Mozilla would need to know about this.

They didn't need a license before. Why should they need one now?

  • Do they need to secure a license in such a way? Probably not.

    Would that fact at all change what the sentence in their TOS means? Nope.

    Whether or not the sentence needs to be there has no bearing on its meaning.

    • That's a wonderful non-answer. It's really showing how much leeway you're giving Mozilla for this overreach.

      What changed? Why do they need it now?!
