If I choose to install a certificate that is controlled by the government, yes, I definitely do want to give them access.

> credible reports that internet service providers in Kazakhstan have required people in the country to download and install a government-issued certificate on all devices and in every browser in order to access the internet

Hardly sounds like a choice.

Maybe for some it was a choice. Anyway, it's not the web browser's business.

If my anyone is coercing me to do something, it's a problem between that person and me. I don't want Mozilla lecturing me on politics, I just want to use the browser.

Mozilla can't make their own choices?

No one's coercing you into using their browser.

[onevu]

Sure, and we should be able to criticise their choices... Especially since they pride themselves on giving the user choice, freedom, bla bla bla.

This is lies. They did not require people to install anything. They MITMed only mobile internet. They MITMed only one city. On this city only few domains were MITMed. Only a fraction of connections to those domains were MITMed. So in practice I think that most people did not even notice anything. And those who noticed could just press F5 few times. Or use VPN as many people do anyway.
