“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.
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?).
