I feel a strong need to point out the bad faith Mozilla seem to have for Firefox users and their privacy, eg Pocket, Mr Robot, DRM & binary blobs, dark pattern configs, etc.

As much as I loved the browser in the past, nobody should consider running it today, without being informed of the implications. The ffprofile.com site is something I have been waiting for, but stuff like this should not be necessary and IMO Mozilla Corp. has won. Nobody celebrates a new version of FF anymore.
