Mozilla is doomed when it's held to such an impossible standard (such as being "spyzilla" for supporting TLS PKI).

All this poo-pooing on Mozilla doing anything less than paranoid-extreme makes people leave for other browsers, which aren't any better, and often are way worse for privacy.

While some of these points are a bit extreme, most of them are pretty basic and could be avoided by simple maxim:

Don't call home and do not do communication with third parties unless opt-in or explicitly requested by user.

Well, i still use Firefox as lesser of two evils, but i do not see why i should say to everyone how wonderful it is.

BTW, is there any neutral comparison of Firefox vs Chromium w.r.t. privacy?

I'm flagging this comment because some of the advice in the link makes the browser much less secure. Don't disable OCSP checking!
