Incidentally, Mozilla is removing the EULA from their
installers now, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462254
because the about:rights page shown on first start
suffices.

Oddly, about:rights#webservices in my copy of intrepid's firefox looks
like boilerplate, hmm.  I think they may have been in a hurry when
they did that...
