You might have caught me in hypocrisy, my jury is still out.

I mean: I too like whimsy, and adding an about:<something noncommercial> would probably be ok with me. (In fact I think there was an easter egg on some about:-protocol-page st some point.)

It was just the sudden surprise of seing an extension I didn't expect and then what at least felt like a hidden commercial motive on top of that.

Yeah, they sure bungled that one up well.

Maybe it's the jarring worlds of security! paranoia! Absolute Control! vs. the FF wants to fun! unpredictable! Think different (no wait, that slogan's tainted now...)!

Given the way they present the extensions... it - in retrospect - should have been clear to them it would trigger more initial reactions from the first set of perspectives, and not just the second.
