This appears to have been implemented by the security team, with the bugzilla issue originally made private / Mozilla staff only a month ago. Mozilla has earned some trust here, I think. I'll be interested to see why this was done, can't imagine that'll be quiet forever.

> Mozilla has earned some trust here, I think. How? Was it the opt-out telemetry, putting ads in the browser, or the "experiments" that were also ads?

  The 25 years of seeking better outcomes for netizens, using their small influence to help people to have a better experience with the internet. If you always compare things to your version of utopia you'll be very disappointed. I appreciate their efforts in saving me from the alternatives like Chrome and IE, which are produced and pushed by groups with a million times their resources.

    I thought Chrome saved us from slow and tarded Mozilla Suite and IE 7 past gen browsers. God bless Apple WebKit I guess. It made web 2.0 possible.

      The old Mozilla suite was obsoleted by Firefox much earlier: Firefox 1.0 was in 2004, IE 7 in 2006, and Chrome didn't show up until 2008 when Firefox was on 3.0.

> Mozilla has earned some trust here, I think. Mozilla has already burned through a fair amount of the trust they earned, though. The trust that is left is why adverse reactions to this are mostly in the form of suspicion rather than knee-jerk condemnation.
