Mozilla fucked up.

 I  wasn't  aware  that  there's  a  control channel from Mozilla to my
 browser. They can install whatever extension they want on my computer.
 Silently. Without me knowing it.

 What a disappointment.

 Yeah,  I  can  already  hear  people laughing at me: "Lol, why did you
 trust them in the first place?" Yeah, why ... Maybe because I remember
 a time when web browser were programs that displayed static content --
 and not application distribution platforms.

 Oh, you wonder why I care? Didn't I  write  my  own  WebKit2  browser?
 Simple  answer: WebKit2 isn't powerful enough for me to use at work. I
 use it at home all the time, but not at work. And I  need  a  reliable
 browser  at  work,  not  some fuckery bullshit that might or might not
 install some add-on at any given time.

 Ugh...
