A bit unrelated but I have a complaint regarding firefox and addons.mozilla.org. In the past that site would let you browse through the code of the addon so that you could make sure that it did not contain anything malicious but now it lacks that option. In addition firefox does not give me the option to check the source of the plugin on updates so even if I manually download the plugin and review it the addon author can at any time introduce backdoors and firefox will automatically fetch the updated version. In addition as far as I am aware firefox only check for signatures from mozilla, not from the addon author, so mozilla can push malicious updates for addons if they wish without the addon creator knowing about it.
