No image the user goes to http://addons.mozilla.org/ to install addons ... it won't work. (just one random example but you get the idea).I imagine the user would change the start page to about:blank, then open the firewall, then everything works as normal. Of course, this only works for single-user machines. A multi-user machine wouldn't protect the second user to run Firefox.Not every user understands the connection between "website does not work" -> "firewall configuration"
not a single "non-tech" user doeswhatever that discussion is worth: throw away firefox because a issue you have on 90% of all websites and force users to use a different browser don't work
in the best case they download the binary from mozilla.org because they want it (especially users working on more than one OS trying to have the same software whenever possible on all of them) or ask yourself if a different distribution works better (better from the users point of view)
you need to outweight the win and the damage these days you have two user groups: * tech users who cares: set about:blank * normal users -> don't careif somebody removes Firefox from the repos i just continue to use it without packages - no auto updates or make the install dir writeable for everyone - the second option throws away security for excatly what benefit?
surely - *i can* care about that and call FF one a week for update it, the majority of users won't do that without any "but", "or" and "if"
