First they force code signing on everyone without a way to disable it then they break it. This is an extreme level of incompetence I didn't expect from Mozilla.

They'd better have the best post mortum ever, possibly with someone being fired.

Arguably these two goals are incompatible. :)

People are generally not inclined to be truthful about their mistakes if they expect to be punished for them. Its how problems keep getting covered up until they become catastrophes.

I guess it depends on if it was an honest mistake or gross negligence. I don’t think people should be fired for mistakes. I also don’t think everyone should be trusted with important tasks.
