Seems reasonable enough. Pretty short and nothing unexpected. Seems like legal box-ticking to me. Honestly I'm quite surprised they didn't have a Terms of Use, so it's about time.

This is a slightly odd clause though:

Any liability for Mozilla under this agreement is limited to $500.

They disclaim any liability for use of FF, but if they do have any liability then it's limited to $500? I doubt this will ever come up but it just feels odd.

I've not read the privacy notice yet.

Some jurisdictions don't allow disclaiming liability, this is kind of a fall-back when that happens to attempt to limit damages. Pretty standard legal language.
