The Mr. Robot series centers around the theme of online privacy and security. One of the 10 guiding principles of Mozilla's mission is that individuals' security and privacy on the internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional. The more people know about what information they are sharing online, the more they can protect their privacy.

...which you've done by installing a fishy-looking addon without our permission and making us less likely to trust you?

Well-done, Mozilla.

If you clicked on the link about shield studies you'd see it says they're opt in, did you not getting prompted about it?

Yep, from https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Shield/Shield_Studies:

> Participation in an individual study is opt-in

Though I do see some people now claiming the addon got installed without them opting in. Probably a bug of some kind.
