I wouldn't have phrased it that way.
I have removed my fair share of malware from other peoples machines though and I have yet to observe that Firefox extensions has been the attack vector a single time.
For that reason I do find it puzzling that they want to irrevocably destroy their single biggest advantage (in my and many other vocal supporters eyes): real, USEFUL extensions. (Even Lastpass has to add an extra binary to my OS to fully work under Chrome IIRC.)
Also while I should mostly not say much about design I do find it odd that so many projects attempt to look Mac OSX and I think it is the same frustration some people have with Firefox starting to look like Chrome: not everything the big boys do is necessarily better.
