So, you don't trust the JS served by Mozilla but you would trust their browser? That doesn't make much sense. Firefox could be sending all of your personal data straight to Mozilla, we just tend to trust that they don't (and can verify that they don't since the source is available).

The JS that Mozilla serves (and the server that gets the reply) is potentially under control of the US government. Trust of Mozilla has got nothing to do with it. It shouldn't even be a requirement.

  Same with an app that is uploaded to the iOS App Store.

    That's an excellent point.

> So, you don't trust the JS served by Mozilla but you would trust their browser? Mozilla's browser is shipped out to everyone; their JavaScript is served to me every time I use it. A compromised browser could be caught; compromised JavaScript sent one time only to a targeted user is highly unlikely to ever be noticed. I get my browser via a distribution; it's far less likely than Mozilla and Debian would collaborate to expose all of Debian's users' passwords than that Mozilla would target — or be compelled by law, blackmail or violence to target — a single user or handful of users.
