They DON'T have permission; they PRESUME permission to bleep up all kinds of settings, including those which should be LOCKED, like accessibility features!

Apparently our computers do not belong to us. Because if they did, we'd control them!

GRAH. Yes.

Indeed. The corporate partnerships must be appeased, or the popular free software doesn't get to be anymore, it seems.

It got Chrome, too, so I doubt it's actually the fault of either Mozilla or Google. I fixed them, but WHY.

That sounds more like a browser adware or program installation that's changing things as a comdition of their install.
