When Mozilla announced their Terms of Use a few months ago, they told us that they would be asking us to acknowledge it at a later date. That day is here, and I took a quick look at it.

    I just got the 138.0.3 update and restarted Firefox. No such dialog to click through, I have not clicked to agree yet. I am on Linux, where distribution maintainer created the package to install and download. Did they disable this? Or maybe I did not got this dialog as I already opted out from data collection, through the settings in Firefox.

    I’m confused.

      Right now, it is for new users only. Existing users are going to have to opt in at some later date.

      For 138.0.3, next week’s dot release, we want ToS to be enabled for the following percentages of new users:

      Windows = 100% Update: stay at 50%
macOS = 25%
Linux = 0%

      For 139.0, next major release, we want ToS to be enabled for the following percentages of new users:

      Windows = 100%
macOS = 100%
Linux = 0%

        Yep, it is also not enabled for Linux, and your distribution might not be using a Mozilla binary anyway.
