Hello all!

Just wanted to politely request clarification here on this bug. Does this refer to the "official" Metamask wallet?

For the other bug entries, it appeared like the issue at hand may have been impersonation.

However here, it appears that the actual Metamask Wallet itself is considered to be unsafe / in breach of FF guidelines.

Would anyone be able to confirm? I can still see the extension on my firefox. Would love any and all additional information about this.

Thanks!
