Mason I am afraid there is a much more serious issue here than a bug or documentation error.

Mozilla is foot-dragging to correct a grave fault - grave as in it blatantly trespasses users' privacy, and what is more, does this being one of main representatives of "open, secure, peer-reviewed RYF" FLOSS suit.

The main problem here, is *not* that Firefox has so and so flaws here and there. The problem is that, Mozilla is NOT behaving. This is an attitude problem, is grave, and prone to grave consequences.

If this apathy of Mozilla for such a serious issue gets its way to FOSS circles, it will not be a very good PR for both Mozilla and the whole FOSS community as well.

With such an attitude Mozilla is effectively sabotaging both itself and the FOSS community.

Something has to be done, by Mozilla, before it is too late. Because once peoples' trust in Mozilla (indirectly FOSS) is harmed, there is no easy/short way to mend it again.

I already question (and don't trust) large suits maintained by large organizations, but I would like to keep this to myself. I hope this distrust of mine won't become a mainstream attitude. And Mozilla is just pumping the fire.
