I really doubt Debian will flip the compile switch that completely prevents unsigned extensions on Iceweasel.
- wsha 11y agoOne of the maintainers already committed to flipping the switch on the mailing list. The reasoning given was that extension signing was a security feature and it is better to trust Mozilla than to trust an old add-on whose developer did not bother to update so that it could be signed.

When will they stop being so lazy and update their code? I don't understand how technically savvy people are capable of reasoning around the walled garden approach. It isn't their place to tell me who I should trust.
