Thank you.

I happen to be one of the users with Normandy disabled, so I'm foobar'd anyway. That said, the reason I disabled it is because it is a security hole you could drive a semi-truck through. And now they want us to enable it to provide a "fix" for the secure way in?

I thought I was the only one who saw a problem with that. Your post is evidence that I'm not completely off in my thinking.

The studies system is also code-signed, but with a different certificate chain, hence why it wasn't affected. What security hole do you think this opens in Firefox?

And thank you for assuring me I wasn’t alone in worrying about that!
