Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Firefox a completely-free web browser?

[dguthrie]

According to Phoronix: "Mozilla intends to remove support for using unsigned  
extensions within the browser... A Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee  
ticket was opened recently about this, "This effectively amounts to an  
iOS-style DRM scheme, disallowing to install any extensions not coming from  
Mozilla. As a results, this prevents the user from exercising the fundamental  
4 freedoms of Free Software when it comes to Firefox extensions. (It also has  
the side effect of breaking all Firefox extensions packaged in Fedora, in a  
way that cannot be fixed without shipping binary blobs, in violation of our  
policy to build everything from source.) Such a DRM scheme should NOT be  
allowed in Fedora... There needs to be a Fedora-wide policy banning DRM  
schemes of this kind with no opt out. (I would also recommend disabling  
enforcement by default where it exists, but that might be more  
controversial.) As an immediate action, any update to Firefox 44 must be  
blocked by FESCo unless the option to disable checking the signatures is  
reinstated. If that is not possible within the Firefox trademark policies,  
the only option is to finally rebrand Firefox."

I prefer IceCat and Midori anyway...
