The mindset of my enemy.

This device is my property. And in fact, as a result of the licenses of the software AOSP and Firefox, the software is itself my property as well. You don't get to tell me what to do with my property, period. If you want to forbid me from interacting with you in light of that, that is your right. If I commit a crime, charge me with a crime.

Software that deliberately disempowers it's users is evil.

This is a very unique take. Why do you think that this sort of thing is bad for Mozilla’s reputation? This makes me just like them more.

Giving the user free reign over their phone is the one thing that Android does right. I can also pirate stuff and do illegal communications on my iPhone by the way.

What do you expect? Firefox is open source. People in the open source community have long been supportive of seedy abusive software.

The people developing Firefox today were probably teenagers using Lunix 20 years ago

How awful. Letting people run any software they choose on their own hardware.

its not bizarre in the least. firefox has allowed this extension on their desktop browser since it existed (same as other browsers) so i don't see how adding mobile support for it could affect their brand in any way.

also i can't imagine there is much of a cross section between people who do illegal stuff and people who use only phones. anyone doing anything seriously is going to be using a desktop os with a physical keyboard
