About this; Mozdev *does* provide a mechanism for secure installs and updates 
now, but we still get the initial warning about installing an extension from 
an untrusted host.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to create an extension that would add 
mozdev.org as a trusted source in Firefox?  We could host this on AMO so 
extension developers on Mozdev would only need to require this extension 
before doing installs from Mozdev.org

If the warning about installing from Mozdev was removed the barrier for new 
users would be greatly reduced.
