And this I think is the crux of how FF has changed its no longer "here's a browser for you to have" it's "here's our browser, you can only use it like this".
This is how you get "we added an addon that you can't remove" and "we re-added icons to the toolbar that you removed" and now "we won't let you simply install any addon".
And presumably next year "only addons from the Mozilla walled-garden"? That seems to be the direction it's going.
Mozilla allow users to do stuff, you say. They used to be about enabling users. Only allowing things a user has a moral right to demand of you doesn't sound like FOSS.
