Well, some things at Mozilla seem a bit odd.

A few weeks ago Nightly ended up having "Pocket" integrated, and rumour said it would replace Mozilla's own open source Sync plus the integrated Reader.

Addons will soon no longer be able to be installed unless approved by Mozilla. (Another walled garden. Sigh...)

Bullshit. The add-on signing requirement will be able to be easily disabled. It's just as much of a "walled garden" as Debian's repos are (ie. nothing like a walled garden).

This is very good, I hate having to constantly remove malware plugins off friends'/family stuff, hijacking new tab, hijacking search providers...
So, pay apple and use the one browser. You already have that offering.
