I don't know the exact plan since I'm not working on this, but it would be relatively easy for us to do: 1. Insist that the exact build configurations used by Cisco be open-sourced along with the rest of the code. 2. Require that every binary distributed by Cisco by tagged with the revision control revision ID. 3. Internally at Mozilla, build that revision of the code and compare the result to the binary blob that we would download from Cisco. Note we'd never distribute the outputs of our internal builds; we'd use those builds only to verify that the source code matches what we'd download. 4a: When we verify that the outputs match exactly, update some embedded hashes within Firefox to approve those versions of the binary blob for download/install, or 4b: Cisco could ask Mozilla to sign these blobs for them, and Mozilla would sign the blobs after doing the above checks. Then, the Firefox client would just verify that the blobs were signed by Mozilla's public key.
