As long as more and more features get added the more the attack surface increases on firefox and all other browsers.

Feeling safe, and being safe are two different things.

Same goes for self signed (or expired) certificates and 'not secure' connections, they are not per definition 'not secure'.

not sure if you can call these features, these are basically options to see what permissions you have given and what are being used by whom, and as for the features question, any day I would prefer camera access through WebRTC than installing and using flash plug-in.

Could not agree more (see my other comment). Firefox should slim down to reduce the attack surface.

Reduced attack surface or standards compliance; pick one.
