TL;DR: Mozilla is now enforcing data collection as a pre-requisite to access new features in Firefox Labs. This is backed by the Terms of Use that Mozilla introduced a few months ago.

That doesn’t explain the hostility. Nothing Mozilla has done recently warrants anywhere near as much aggression and rage baiting as these people have been doing.
I gave the Grsecurity anecdote to try to explain what I see as the weirdness surrounding the fact that Firefox as distributed by Mozilla is governed by both the source code license and its new ToS that adds new restrictions to the distributed product.
Clearly the uncompiled source code is open source and governed under an open source license.
Do you see Mozilla as displaying “aggression” and is their imposition of the ToS “rage baiting”? Mozilla made changes to the status quo. If the situation changes, are people not supposed to react?
