I never said you or I or Mozilla or Debian don't have ideals
(http://www.debian.org/social_contract). In fact I would find it
offensive is someone would imply that. However, having (the same) ideals
says nothing about the means one is using to try to reach them.

In my opinion FSF is pushing Mozilla to fight a battle it can't win. At
least not now.

And when i have my own ideals, am i enough free (and have i enough of
the free) to tell, that i am disappointed? Tell, that i disagree with
Mozilla, Adobe, Google, etc... Yes, i can disagree with them!

     I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your
     right to say it.

Can i see, that from DRM is only small step to ACTA (or similar), if no
other see it? Yes, i can this too!

Need i allow shoppers to go into my home, to they can see that i am not
a burglar? To they can check that i don't steal nothing? No! Really no!
I am not a burglar and even if i will burglar, there is judge, which
need to allow this. Then, why i need to allow that companies come into
my home and use *MY* computer (without paying for this) to protect
*THEIR* right? No, no, no! I respect their rights and expect, that they
will respect my rights!

Nobody forces you to install the add-on, certainly not Mozilla or
Debian.

And that is the part I don't get. Anyone is "free" to not install it. This has become another "Unmarked Helicopters" issue. :/ Ric
