The way this discussion has developed and the obvious participation of major figures in the OS community is another solid reason for me to appreciate open source software.

Whilst not directly related to the EULA, if the version of Firefox to be included in Ubuntu in the future will incorporate something similar to the proposed screenshots, would it be possible to include a few words about how the anti-phishing services work?

With regard to comment #513:

My understanding is that Firefox downloads a list of suspected attack/forgery sites and locally checks urls against this list. The list is then maintained but no user data is sent to a remote server. This is different (I believe) to the way Google Toolbar works in respect of the page rank information, where all visited URLS are checked remotely. Would it be possible to reassure users that no personal browsing data is retrieved and possibly stored by Mozilla and Google?
