I've seen some questionable choices w.r.t. security being made. Things
aren't being made less secure, but choices made in the interest of
security don't really seem to relate to it. The last big extension
update was like that. There was some easy way to get around the
sandbox that Mozilla made for Firefox.

This update will break my favorite extension, Vimperator. I am already
looking at replacements for Firefox due to this. So far I have found
qutebrowser which isn't really as featureful.
