It gets worse, check this page out: http://forums.passwordmaker.org/index.php/topic,1654.0.html Surely it's a massive conflict of interest for Eric Jung to be a board member of the Mozilla Add-ons governing board and to be actively working on an Add-on, especially one like this?

This way, they can sell the data on and still stick to their 'privacy policy': "Our Abine browser add-on uses hashes of unique identifiers that are not tied to you or your IP address, to help you track versions and updates for the add-on, and a different set of randomly generated identifiers to validate service requests such as creating or updating disposable email addresses. If you chose to provide more data in order to take advantage of additional services, such as webmail, add-on identifiers are never used in a way that ties it to your name or personal information to the best of our ability." Also, Eric Jung is on their 'Advisory board': http://abine.com/team.php If you don't know who he is, he is a board member of Mozilla Add-Ons governing board. This 'update' has made a mockery of the update mechanism in Firefox and severely undermines it in my view. Here's a link to the support board over at Abine, where I have been voicing my disapproval and I recommend you do the same: https://www.getabine.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7&start=10#p37

Another lie I've seen pushed by the credit card companies is that it's quicker to pay by card than cash. This is an out and out lie, the companies prefer card as it stops the cashiers having to handle cash. Fair enough, if you buy a tin of beans with a high demonination note, it may take a while, but it's still quicker than some of the card terminals I've had to use. Also I prefer the whole "Most of my money is kept secret by this number I don't use too often" over "All my money is protected by a number I use everyday".
