[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#842939: I had done the RFP and some more analysis

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,

Blame me as I had done the RFP for the package but then I was
influenced by statements of FSF,  HTTPS Everywhere and I think even
the Guardian Project which had endorsed the add-on. When such big
hitters of FOSS and free software values endorse something, we are
bound to think it's alright. At least that is what my memory
tells/shares with me. Even on mozilla addons page it used be one of
the top ones in privacy category/section for privacy utilities.

Anyways, found this (thankfully in English this time)

While I'm not a programmer and hence don't understand the
implications, I do understand the right thing is to purge the add-on
and I have done that for the moment.
