And what's to stop Mozilla from doing so? Or any other browser?

  The simple fact that Firefox is Open Source, therefore auditable, while Chrome is not. ps. Nope, Chromium is not Chrome.

    So use Chromium?

      Chromium already got caught side loading a black box binary plug-in after it was installed. One of the chrome devs. even made it clear that it worked as intended as the DRM support it implemented was core to the Chrome product and saw no reason not to silently download and execute it. So it is the same as chrome, only run it if you unconditionally trust Google.
