Disabling the ADs feature from firefox, if that is possible, would be
the right move for Fedora.

We also could lobby mozilla to re-consider this decision.


I don't really understand the issue at all. We also don't have any problems offering google or any other search engine with our default configuration in firefox. But if a truly open-source foundation implements something to generate some revenue, which will most probably help the development of open source software, it suddenly becomes a big deal?
