I'll update the post with a screenshot of the infobar. I'll find those entries and give them a read as soon as time allows me. I certainly hope this method is followed by closed source software as well, as it does a better job than the EULA. Thanks for the quick reply Kev.

Its good that Firefox is at least making a change in the modern community. EULAs are way too obselete, just used for documentation purposes now.

I work for MoCo on customized distributions of Firefox, and the link to Harvey's post inside of mine also goes over some of the rationale behind the switch. Mitchell's blog also has entries on Sep 15-17 that addresses the changes. Glad you agree it's a good move, we think it's a much better way of doing it as well. A couple other people will be blogging about the changes in the very near future, as it is a big change from a EULA.
