How did Mozilla try to defend it?

  The initial response published by Gizmodo neither apologizes nor says the plugin will be removed: > “Firefox worked with the Mr. Robot team to create a custom experience that would surprise and delight fans of the show and our users. It’s especially important to call out that this collaboration does not compromise our principles or values regarding privacy. The experience does not collect or share any data,” Jascha Kaykas-Wolff, chief marketing officer of Mozilla, said in a statement to Gizmodo. “The experience was kept under wraps to be introduced at the conclusion of the season of Mr. Robot. We gave Mr. Robot fans a unique mystery to solve to deepen their connection and engagement with the show and is only available in Firefox.” This new apology -- from the same person! -- now claims that their values were compromised, but it doesn't say so in a way that acknowledges that they previously felt differently, or explains what caused them to change their mind, which leaves it feeling dishonest.
