Thanks you a lot for your contribution and for taking time to locate all the places that need to be updated/changed/patched
i am aware of the problem and this is scheduled for the next release
here https://github.com/intika/Librefox/issues/26 and here https://github.com/intika/Librefox/issues/20
Those are urgent issue and they are the next step in this project :)
Your post will be helpful ;)
I am closing this continue discussion here https://github.com/intika/Librefox/issues/26 ;)
This will be followed here https://github.com/intika/Librefox/issues/55
At the very top of the about:license page, one can read the following statement:
"Binaries of this product have been made available to you by the Mozilla Project under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL). Know your rights."
We need to change the ”Mozilla Project" part to "Librefox Project" or similar, whatever intika has in mind here should be applied. Furthermore, as long as there is no Librefox website, I think the link leading to the Mozilla homepage should be replaced with this GitHub page.
Furthermore, I noticed that the Waterfox project has a sentence in the "About Waterfox" version info / update checking window which states the following:
"Waterfox is not associated with Mozilla."
It is at the bottom of the window, see here: https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/waterfox-56.2.0.png
I think we should include this sentence as well, just replacing "Waterfox" with "Librefox" here.
The "Know your rights" part leads to the about:rights page. There it states:
We need to replace "Firefox" with "Librefox" here. Not sure what to do with the "community of thousands all over the world". Technically this is true, as thousands of people have contributed to the Firefox code upon which Librefox is built, but then, this statement might be a bit gross in relation to the Librefox project if we let it stand as is.
We need to replace "Firefox" with "Librefox" throughout this paragraph, I think the rest is true still.
Again, we need to replace "Firefox" with "Librefox" here. Additionally, we need to replace "Mozilla Foundation" with "Librefox Project" or similar here. The "here" word has a link attached to it leading to a Mozilla page. As that info is applicable to Firefox and was not released by us, I think we shouldn't keep the last sentence at all.

This does not seem to be applicable to the Librefox project at all, as almost all telemetry is gutted. However, once (if ever) Librefox introduces a working updater, the operating system and version of the browser must be submitted to the Librefox Project at least, as there is no other way to deliver the correct data. That being said, the Waterfox project has set up a privay notice that could inspire such a page for the Librefox project. See here: https://www.waterfoxproject.org/en-US/privacy/waterfox/ Some snippets of this are applicable to use, some are not (due to the gHacks-user.js being very strict in terms of the connections it allows).
I leave it to developer to decide what to make of this. I have no idea, really. Especially the about:rights#webservices page should be reviewed and modified for ourpurposes.
