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?
