This is not the first time Mozilla has injected an ad campaign into the browser chrome.

They did this a couple years ago as well to similar backlash, that time with a plugin that they force-installed for users.

That sounds pretty bad but what do you mean by "browser chrome"? Isn't the claim here that they injected an ad into an actual page?

No, they did not. The complaint is poorly worded. They added an internal browser pop-up that covers pages to display an ad.

No, browser chrome is the part that isn't the web page (i.e. browser UI itself).
