I'd like to point out that, for the (hopefully typical) case of a
Firefox user clicking on a Install link and immediately installing
(and not downloading first then install, as is the case with
Thunderbird &c), AMO's install buttons use InstallTrigger with a hash.
 This means that the mirror doesn't have to be secure (since the hash
was transmitted over https, along with the page the user was seeing).
Of course that still only protects a portion of the users...

This may or may not have any bearing on what mozdev wishes to do :p
