Sylvestre, your final parenthetical claim here appears to not be true for the only other major web browser in Debian and therefore an easy alternative for Debian to switch to now: chromium. Sylvestre, would Mozilla strongly object if Debian patched Firefox to remove links to the Terms of Use and links to the Privacy Notice? It looks to me like we have a situation where the maintainer of firefox-esr is a Mozilla employee and may be unwilling to take any action on this issue. Meanwhile, this is an RC bug and firefox-esr is eligible for automatic removal from Debian Testing which is causing a burden on other Debian maintainers and bug fixers since other things are marked for automatic removal because they depend on firefox-esr. I think we'll need the Debian Release Team to weigh in on this issue soon. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
