This is not correct. Some types of reverse engineering are legal.

These are actually two of the exceptions. You CAN reverse engineer it to make it operative but that doesn't mean you can distribute the re-engineered binary.

They could have released a patching mechanism that used the original binary, but just releasing the re-engineered binary is illegal.

Why do you believe that binaries have different rights to any other creative work? Given that object code can be protected under copyright and substantial similarity is the threshold for copyright claims what makes you think that this is legal?

Anyone else's extensions not work on support.mozilla.org?

I mean if I'm forgetting, how would I know, but I've never woken up for the first time with any experience of having dreamt.

I sometimes experience dreams when I go back to sleep repeatedly, but in all normal circumstances it is nothing
