I don't trust Mozilla either. They have demonstrated on multiple occasions that they are willing to trade their user's privacy and security for money. Example 1, Example 2. Both examples show extremely poor judgement from Mozilla. I no longer trust them to put the user first.
For now I'm sticking with Safari. At least there I'm the paying customer, and since I'm already running macOS/iOS I don't need to trust an additional party.
Wow, two very small issues that Mozilla has done and quickly listened to user feedback and walked it back. Totally a legit reason to not use it.
Installing software on your computer without your consent is not a small issue. The fact that they even considered it, let alone let it go into production shows serious problems with their judgement.
They have a similar system. Private Access Tokens
