Windows already blocks installation and execution of drivers that aren't signed by Microsoft under their WHQL[1] program. You can turn the blocking off, but that's a deliberate choice made as a sysadmin or power user.
Drivers from Intel/Nvidia/AMD are signed by Microsoft, WHQL certified, and are not part of Windows, so as far as Mozilla is concerned they are third-party drivers.
