This is frankly big, an explicit black-list inside the browsers code to circumvent a state-base MITM attack. My only concern is: they could easily MITM and redirect users trying to downlaod this new Firefox/Chrome versions to old unpatched ones and just break the automatic update process. Although I hope that they already started distributing this update silently (like all the chrome/firefox updates) before announcing it
