Re:Mozilla stops distribution of WOT addon

(#12875375)
I only browse in (incognito|private) windows. My browsers are configured to startup that way automatically.
It "works for me" and it'd probably work for a lot of (perhaps even most) other users so maybe it would be an acceptable default. I don't know.
I think there's a happy medium somewhere between these two extremes that absolutely would be an acceptable default, though. Firefox could certainly come with better defaults if Mozilla truly valued privacy that high.
(FWIW, my mozilla.cfg -- pointed to by general.config.filename -- currently has 127 settings in it. It's been added to over the years, though, so some of those are certainly deprecated by now.)
