for other reasons I wanna comment on the "seems pretty reasonable" bit
"In this day and age" what with fear and stuff being a main chunk of news , perhaps using a webext (which can really only modify a page to do any tricky cool stuff) is a bad thing?
(especially when it plays off of the pre-existing FUD by referencing hacking n' stuff!, but not my point)
same for any unexpected icons appearing in the toolbars! People are being told to be weary when using their browsers: look out for signs the pages might be fake or messed with, look out for unexplained installation of programs and addons, being hammered in from every secure site!
Its worrying that, I know it would fuck with my parents pretty bad WHEN it would be enabled, because there isn't much point in developing something for it to not be enabled! Especially when money is probably on the table, when higher ups probably rammed this through normal steps designed to prevent this sort of stuff (again)
I need something to give my parents, something that is ethical, something that cares about them, and something that works: chrome still works better for them, and mozilla seems really really keen on blurring the lines for the other ones (I know I know, it requires users to opt into shield studies etc, but man, I had a talk with my ma, "do you wanna contribute back to mozilla in this way?", please don't punish us for asking other less-techy people that.)
If you guys need easter eggs, probably keep them off to the side, in the settings or about sections
But its a dhcp server, network admins would be expected to touch config files, and the interface for a DHCP server really can't be much worse than the GUI version that microsoft supplies!
but digressions, to say "this is why I won't use a linux desktop" in response to a server-specific use-case, is at best antagonistic!
"I don’t want your tools spying on you either." how virtuous. Some people don't care though, some people actually prefer it
well how else would you interpret the statement that Australian law supersedes math?

That aside, "We do not share customer data with 3rd parties, as it is not possible due to end-to-end encryption, except when we send things in plaintext, because of our moral obligation to the Australian government" is going to be a greaaaat addition to privacy policies for Australian companies. Going to go real well for international business.
if so, where can I register to freely vote
edit: since it doesn't seem clear, my comment is sarcastic
However, most of the latest versions of the mainstream browsers now intentionally avoid writing out such files to the downloads folder unless the end user specifically OKs it (due to situations like this!)
Google decides if you are part of the everyone included in their AI for everyone
And, shouldn't a workplace be setup for re-imaging if updates go wrong? I know its easy to just store files in C:\user\name\documents, but then it makes it just as easy to be forced to pay $300 for each computer in the network
The player base for Pokemon Go felt very frustrated at multiple times (especially anyone who had a rooted phone, completely disallowed to play, but that didn't stop cheaters!)
They only very recently added PR members to the probably largest PokemonGo forum around, https://redd.it/68nxzx
elsewise, I'd say, try creating a new FF profile, unfortunately afaik older profiles can still jank up the browser a bit
