Amazon did this with their cloud security cameras as well.

Spotify did it with their "Car thing"

It's common and I agree, should be illegal.

The company, because the creator gets paid either way

It's common in America, especially with electric stoves. All gas stoves I've seen use the front, though.

It means a functionality that used to work stopped. It's used in software development. It's common for software to go through "regression testing" to see if everything old still works after a new feature is added.

This is interesting, and I personally feel he is fighting it only because it buys him more time. In a different article (linked in this one), where they announce Alabama's plan to use nitrogen it says:

Smith, in seeking to block the state’s second attempt to execute him by lethal injection, had argued that nitrogen should be available.

So he literally asked to use nitrogen, they said "ok" and now's he's saying "how dare you try to use me as a guinea pig"

It's because they were giving free domains for a long time. Then when they were recently being revoked, Dessalines paid for the domain to keep it (I'm guessing to avoid losing the current community+their m+l origins?)

I was curious as well so I looked at the git tree. I'm not familiar with Firefox code, but I'm assuming I found the list:

pref("extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains", 
"accounts-static.cdn.mozilla.net,accounts.firefox.com,
addons.cdn.mozilla.net,addons.mozilla.org,
api.accounts.firefox.com,content.cdn.mozilla.net,
discovery.addons.mozilla.org,install.mozilla.org,
oauth.accounts.firefox.com,profile.accounts.firefox.com,
support.mozilla.org,sync.services.mozilla.com");

From here

So it looks like it's mostly to do with the account system of Firefox. I'm not sure why their websites would need special protection, but whatever. It's not malicious, for now
