Using dev edition is the equivalent of sudo.
Firefox can just install an extension from clicking a link, combine that with tech illiterate people just panic-clicking "ok" on every popup, that really is an attack vector.
I mean, billions of people click yes on a "hey we're gonna take all your data and sell it to everyone, are you okay with that?" screen multiple times a day...
Again. You are saying you shouldn't be able to install applications on your computer.
I mean, if that's what you believe. I don't. I think I should be able to decide what I run and where I run it.
Especially if the company thinks of itself as open source.
But you can... I do it, it's not hard. You'd have learned how and done it in the time you've been complaining.
