    It is really great to see that they are taking the initiative add this along with their other changes slated for version 3.1. If anything else it will at least help show users that there are formats available for them to use which are not proprietary.

    ]]>         Firefox 3 RC1 forces you agree to EULA before usage http://www.linuxinfusion.com/firefox-3-rc1-forces-you-agree-eula-usage 2008-05-31T12:52:57-07:00 2008-05-31T13:02:42-07:00 Moparx I decided to upgrade my copy of Firefox 3 Beta5 to the recent Release Candidate today and was greeted with something quite unexpected.

    Instead of my browser window opening as it was supposed to do I was given a End-User Software License Agreement (EULA) screen which would not let me use Firefox until I agreed with the terms and conditions.

    While Mozilla has had a EULA since Firefox 1.5 or so they have never brazenly shoved it into the end-user's face until now. It immediately set me on edge because this behavior is indicative of proprietary software and not something you would expect to see when using something that is open source.

    After using the release candidate for over a week or so now, I have to decided that I may just end up switching completely over to Firefox 2 as my primary browser in the near future.

    Of course nothing is certain, but it will at least give me something to ponder over for a bit...
