Some might call that a EULA, but I wouldn't.  I'd call that more of a
warning that you're about to use something that you *might* want to
configure differently.

It's more than that. It's a warning that Firefox is configured to
collect information about where you browse. They promise that they
don't use that to track what you do. However, in order to use the
service, the browser has to inform the database website that it's
about to go to a certain web location. It's a privacy issue, especially
since I see nothing in there about using any encryption.

It's a little disconcerting that such a feature might be on by default,
but I'd rather be told about it (like we are) than only find out about
it once I've gone through all my configuration options.

Agreed.
