Whether or not the #Firefox obnoxious "Terms of Use" actually come into effect, the @mozillaofficial corporate management have shown us their arses. We cannot trust them again.

The current leadership of #MozillaCorp have failed the primary job of that organisation:

I've no clue, @argv_minus_one

I do trust #FDroid @fdroidorg to strip out any user-hostile surveillance crap, or cease distributing it if that's not feasible.
