This "accident" didn't happen in isolation.
Firefox already ships with telemetry enabled by default, superfluous closed source components (pocket) and a remote control mechanism which Mozilla has already abused "for fun" (remember that Mr Robot thing?).
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.
