Misleading headline from The Register; no fault of alexandros for posting to HN verbatim, but misleading nonetheless. After all, I think this 'lockdown' is a great idea. FF has a totally reasonable interface for addons, so there's no need to circumvent it. Anyway, if you're using an OS that provides sensible privilege separation, I believe you're already prevented making the sorts of modifications that 'lockdown' targets. As a result, this will lead to more consistent and predictable behavior across platforms.
