That doesn't imply that I trust anything. Fedora gets to a firewalled 
system in the test network before coming anywhere near one of my 
desktops.  Being packaged on a known location doesn't imply Qquality(i. 
e. windowsupdate)
I absolutely believe that FireFox extensions should not be packaged in 
by Fedora.
