Mozilla decided to make signing mandatory, then screwed up and now they're trying to fix it by making use of a feature that basically allows them to remotely execute code on all their users silently?
I checked Mozilla's main site again, and it still has this ironic statement in its description tag (it's been there for many years):
Firefox is created by a global non-
profit dedicated to putting individuals in control online.
...I guess it's more dedicated to putting Mozilla in control now. Something about this whole incident brings up a point that just feels very wrong to me --- it's not a Google or Microsoft, but the fact that Mozilla also seems to have this large amount of control over its users is unsettling.
