I've seen some questionable choices w.r.t. security being made. Things aren't being made less secure, but choices made in the interest of security don't really seem to relate to it. The last big extension update was like that. There was some easy way to get around the sandbox that Mozilla made for Firefox. This update will break my favorite extension, Vimperator. I am already looking at replacements for Firefox due to this. So far I have found qutebrowser which isn't really as featureful. R0b0t1.
