Lots of people doom and gloom here about threats to user privacy and freedom.

This is the one I'd be worried about. Thought it was annoying to not be able to use banking apps on a rooted Android? Think about how annoying it will be when you can't do much of anything, even on the Web, unless it's from a sealed, signed Apple/Google/Microsoft image-based OS...

I realize the way Firefox's user share is going, it might not matter or they might feel they don't have a choice but I really, really hope Mozilla doesn't even remotely consider implementing this.

Firefox doesn't allow users to install unsigned extensions unless they use a beta version, because users apparently can't be trusted to install software. I trust Mozilla to fight for privacy (they're great at it), but I do not trust them in the slightest to fight for user freedom (like accessing banking sites on an "insecure" OS).
