I need to apologize for this. It was said in frustration (and not
really even in frustration of this situation). I was having a
frustrating day and this seemed at the time to be just one more hurdle.

Please forgive my hasty words.

I should also note that someone from Mozilla reached out to me
overnight and stated that they would be certainly willing to work with
us to approve Workstation-specific Firefox defaults:

"
Mozilla is watching the discussion on Fedora Desktop ML and I just
wanted to point out that getting approval to package in plugins and
extensions is not impossible or hard to do. Mozilla has these
restrictions to protect the end user not to make it hard on partners
from shipping stuff to their users. For instance Ubuntu ships a number
of extensions baked into their package.

You can see our discussion about the issues raised on Desktop ML here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.planning/PjkCRmkkFmQ


We would obviously love for Firefox to continue to be the default
offered to Fedora Users and we know there are a lot of Mozillians that
are contributors to both projects and enjoy that default.
"


I certainly would call this an act of good faith from Mozilla and
believe that we should join this discussion thread so we can work with
them to come to a mutually-beneficial outcome.
