These mock-ups are infinitely better than where we were just a couple of days ago. So for that I am pleased and would be fairly comfortable with these proposals as they stand.

I do have some preferences and still a concern or two however:

1. Of the two first-page images the top one is better as there is no "button" on the toolbar that seems to *need* to be clicked.

2. I would really appreciate it if Ubuntu/Canonical (if Mozilla can't or wont) could distribute Firefox with the Website Services disabled by default (we are running Linux after all so their benefit is a somewhat moot point) so that the need for the 'user agreement' becomes a requirement only *after* the user has made a concious choice to turn on these services.

But, as I said. They look much better and don't seem to require any affirmative action by the user. Whether Firefox is "Free Software" I am really not sure. I don't think it is with this agreement still seemingly required. So maybe it needs to go into multiverse anyway.

I'll leave that to people with far greater knowledge of the subject than I.
