The fact they've issued this update and not clarified the scope as Mozilla services is disturbing.
> Here’s what the new language will say:
> You give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox. This includes processing your data as we describe in the Firefox Privacy Notice. It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox. This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that content.
They're still broadly referring to "Firefox" with alarming language.

"alarming" is a low standard - people get alarmed because they see everyone else throwing a fit.
They say it's only for "doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox" - how is that alarming?
Nothing that I intend to do with Firefox requires any such statement. The mere existence of the statement is evidence that Mozilla's intentions are drastically out of line with what a web browser should be doing.
So what? Millions of people use Firefox. Lots of things in Firefox and their ToS don't apply to me, of course. None of my personal info will be collected at all, based on what I've read.
