Firefox is constantly updating 10+ times a day! WHO is controlling my tabs??? Developers???

more options

Since the time when Mozilla is allowing "app developers" to steal my data and browsing behavior, I constantly fight with updates (10+x per day). On top of this, tabs seem to be controlled by YouTube/Google, since I have 2 Google accounts and try to use them in 2 tabs, these tabs are changing to ONE account, even though I have different content on those accounts. It almost feels like someone at Google is monitoring my activity. I feel this is a major intrusion into my privacy. Therefore, I will contact the EU commission to look into the privacy invasion of Mozilla and YouTube/Google!!!
