If you care about privacy, blind trust is never something you should have.

This has all the trappings of a mistake to me. A group of developers responsible for developing one area (the add-ons page), was not considering the impact it might have on another (the browser developers). Perhaps they should find a different solution, but it rings hollow to argue that a privacy conscious user shouldn't be expected to have read the privacy policy.
