There is a privacy vidoe on your home page, is it a firefox product?3/31/2016
I just switched to Bing because Google is so invasive regarding private information, and on your home site today there is, right at the bottom a site regarding Privacy is this a Bing product and safe to use because it asks all kinds of private questions. As for details, the man in the video is wearing a hat, has a book case on the wall behind him, and the toast has a W on it. Thank you.
I want to protect myself as much as possible.

The home page often has bits of addition l info on it relating to Firefox or Mozilla. I almost never use the home page and so do not see such things.
They have recently been trying to raise awareness of privacy and encryption issues so it would not surprise me. Look at this for instance (some short video clips)

- And the mission statement mozilla.org/mission/
There is probably no real need to use the homepage, and it is probably possible to turn the annoying stuff of if it helps.
Further info.
As I said the home page is probably not necessary. You are able to set more than one page. In which case they open as a set of tabs. You may also opt instead to open the tabs from the last session. Something a lot of people find useful. See
Note if you have home pages set you may open them at any time by clicking the Home icon (the house icon). Or get the standard home page by keying in the special address
