I think this whole thing is a bad idea. They won&#x27;t allow a scary opt-out button because some software could turn it on, don&#x27;t allow about:config because it could be flipped, don&#x27;t allow a build flag in stable because malware could flip it and build.  I mean... by that logic, couldn&#x27;t someone reskin and redistribute alpha or the &#x27;unbranded&#x27; with malware? Firefox is so afraid of malware, yet it encourages users to store their passwords in plain text in the browser?<p>It really feels like a landgrab and not anything anyone has been asking for. Firefox has to compete with the Chrome web store, but you can&#x27;t burn your house down to save a room. What&#x27;s left if Firefox becomes some centralized market akin to iOS, Windows Store, Play etc. Forced AMO signing flies in the face of the decentralized web. &quot;Malware happened&quot; and &quot;Chrome does it&quot; aren&#x27;t really answers.<p>I think getting backed into a corner has made Moz take risks with their ideology. Hopefully they give developers and users a lot more time to deal with the upcoming changes.
