They could make an addon installer that obtains a signature from Mozilla's server before installation, and blocks addons that haven't been signed with the appropriate key.
Say all you want about central app stores that control things, but based on the amount of browser exploits that come from shady toolbars, I'd like this kind of security applied to code that runs in my browser.
