Comment 4 for bug 1827717

Normandy can remotely change the functionality and behavior and preferences of Firefox installations, though. It can silently install extensions which may not be listed at about:addons. I agree that is not remote root access (not immediately, anyway), but the fact that such a powerful remotely controllable feature is enabled by default, without the user asked for explicit opt-in, is still very troubling from my perspective. And so is your response, I might add.
