Comments such as yours are missing the point.
Mozilla's ToS applies for Firefox's use, and this is literally written by Mozilla themselves:
“Your use of Firefox must follow Mozilla’s Acceptable Use Policy”
There's no distinction between the browser and Mozilla's online services here.

And even if it were referring only to features such as “profile syncing” (and it doesn't refer only to that), does this mean that people can't have bookmarks to porn? And why would Mozilla care about how people use profile syncing at all? I thought it was e2e encrypted.
How do you square this with the following:
> Mozilla software is made available to you under the terms of the Mozilla Public License 2, a free software license, which gives you the right to run the program for any purpose, to study how it works, to give copies to your friends and to modify it to meet your needs better. There is no separate End User License Agreement (EULA).

It should really be up to Mozilla to make the licensing of their products and the terms of use of their services clear and unambiguous. If users have to figure out how to square Mozilla's legal terms with Mozilla's other legal terms, they've failed.
Fully agree.
Ok, turns out there are separate ToS for the official binaries: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/terms/firefox/
That's for the court to decide, when you sue Mozilla for remotely bricking your browser.
