The new Mozilla Terms appear to speak only about Firefox.

So do these new Terms apply to Thunderbird? If so, how? I find it hard to believe that Mozilla would actually monetize the content of emails, that's so low I can't imagine even those leftists doing it.

Google, yes. That's why I don't do my personal email with my Gmail account. For my personal email I built my own mailserver for my own domain using AWS, Ubuntu, Postfix, Dovecot, and SpamAssassin. And I use the T'bird client.

So I'm really hoping that T'bird is not compromised, but if it is, maybe someone will fork the sources....

So TIL that Thunderbird is a mail-app-interface layer over... wait for it.... Firefox.

That is, all these years it has leveraged the Firefox functionality and simply put a mail app interface over it. Dang! How'd I miss that?

So maybe if Firefox is compromised going forward, T'bird is likewise.

OTOH, the changes in 2023 sounded like T'bird was being rewritten. and if so maybe it won't track changes in Firefox any more.

Now I'm confused.
