Don’t forget the Mr. Robot debacle: https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/16/16784628/mozilla-mr-robo...

They pull this crap all the time and never learn their lessons.

Or how about how they still replace pinned shortcuts in the new page with sponsored ads. Like the magical top left one that I don't even look at before clicking because it's a link to my mail.

Two years later and they're still doing it.

Not to defend Firefox, but I believe Mr Robot is what caused them to make a visible toggle for experiments. Sadly it's not off by default, but once it's turned off, you don't really have to worry about it. That said, I never saw this VPN popup.
