What is this bullshit? Feel like this will lead to adblocks being blocked for certain websites under the guise of "security", aka: we don't have to justify shit to you.
“Security concerns” is such a bullshit reason. If an add on is such a security concern, why host it in the first place?
I’m disappointed Mozilla is going down this path, but not surprised.
So allowing any random, possibly compromised, possibly installed by malware, add-on to run during the Firefox account login pages (see the list of URLs in this thread) isn't a security concern to you?
