&gt; users want to sit in the driver&#x27;s seat.<p>&gt; We need more Firefoxes.<p>&gt; We need more browsers that treat their users, rather than publishers, as their customers.<p>Until they started talking about DRM I was hoping that we were &quot;saving Firefox&quot; from mandatory extension signing.<p>As of Firefox 47, you will not be able to install any extension which hasn&#x27;t been digitally signed by Mozilla. There will be no about:config setting to override this. They claim that this will prevent adware from disabling the digital signature requirement. But it&#x27;s also taking power out of the hands of users, with the justification that supposedly Mozilla knows better than their users do what code they want to run.<p>This is the death-knell of Firefox for me. I&#x27;ll be switching to an unbranded fork and hoping that the security updates keep coming.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.mozilla.org&#x2F;Add-ons&#x2F;Extension_Signing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.mozilla.org&#x2F;Add-ons&#x2F;Extension_Signing</a>
