Weak sauce. Mozilla ought to be apologising here, not blaming its community for being upset at Mozilla's efforts to impose restrictions on its binaries that are in direct conflict with the core principles of Free and Open Source software.
We were discussing this yesterday. [0] It's not 'confusion'. We saw what they were up to, and we weren't happy about it.
This is the upside of doing what I did yesterday, which is to realize Mozilla cannot recover from this, which makes such follow-on mistakes easier to bear. The shock has been absorbed. I have installed a few alternatives and will be deleting FF as soon as possible. I will also continue to advocate for privacy and user-rights preserving software - a set that does not include anything from Mozilla. The bridge is well-and-truly burned. They had a 2% marketshare based on goodwill with privacy rights geeks, and managed to destroy it overnight. There is no recovery for them.
