This is a goddamned disaster. I'm just thankful that I use an offline password manager, but even still ...

I like FF, don't get me wrong, but this is going to absolutely fucking destroy user trust in Mozilla. This kind of incompetence, on a browser scale, is breathtaking.

Seems like an over-reaction. "Destroy user trust in Mozilla?" Really? Because your extensions got disabled for a day?

Users will drop a product for the slightest reason. For instance, one of our users recently left a negative review. Paraphrasing, "Logging in is difficult".

We check our warning system (set up to detect suspicious logins, incidentally also catches any users who've been locked out because they forgot their password), and his last login attempt took a total of two tries.

Honestly then he is just an idiot and he will come back when he realizes he has to login to other services too.
