  I can understand region-locks for products that need to comply with region-specific regulations but for things like these it makes me scratch my head. What's the rationale? Is Mozilla worried goverments elsewhere might not like this? It seems so weird to me.

    Since this is based on a set of somewhat site-specific rules, perhaps they just have good coverage of websites typically visited by users in Germany so it's a good way to ship it to some users without disappointing others with a half-working feature?
