> let's all take a step back and give them a little benefit of the doubt here, until we get some facts on what happened.

Except for:

Google Analytics being used on the Firefox Addons menu – solved by adding, in grey text on grey background, a tiny "Privacy Policy" link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15421708

Mozilla forcefully enabling toolkit.telemetry.enabled in Nightly and Developer versions, and, upon being asked, saying that "below the download link is a text telling you that by downloading these, you opt-in to telemetry".

Benefit of the doubt is over, it’s time to get the pitchforks out.
