Remove Google Integrity Malware from Android Firefox

[jerril]

Recently Google Integrity Malware has been introduced to the Android version of Firefox with the reported reason of ensuring that "only unmodified, Play-installed Firefox on Google-certified devices" can access the server-side AI features, thereby preventing DDOSing and similar kinds of Mozilla infrastructure abuse. The problem with this is that it acts as precedent to add more Firefox features behind Google Integrity Malware in the future, taking control away from the user. It also shows the tech industry as well as the wider consumer world that when Mozilla presents itself as "the organization that promotes openness, innovation ..." this only applies as long as there is not *a chance* that it could go against its own self interests, in which case it would rather choose closeness and backwardness. Unfortunatelly this is an almost impossible problem with no other way of resol-       actually why not require Mozilla Account for server-side AI features?
