I think that there may be a problem, with the idea of of linking to an
explanation of the EULA. The EULA states "BY USING THE MOZILLA FIREFOX
BROWSER, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO BE BOUND BY THE AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT
AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT USE THE
MOZILLA FIREFOX BROWSER. " presumably clicking on a link in the browser
constitutes "USING" so the user would see the plain English explanation
of the EULA only after agreeing. Although would just scrolling down to
the bottom of the EULA constitute "USING" firefox? The EULA appears to
have been designed to be read before using firefox, rather than while
using firefox.
