    “Security concerns” is such a bullshit reason. If an add on is such a security concern, why host it in the first place?

    I’m disappointed Mozilla is going down this path, but not surprised.

      So allowing any random, possibly compromised, possibly installed by malware, add-on to run during the Firefox account login pages (see the list of URLs in this thread) isn’t a security concern to you?

      To me it sounds more like they plan on blocking all addons (other than some whitelist of “trusted” addons) on important pages (like the Google login page maybe?).
