Also, please stop claiming it's an "Augmented Reality Game": it absolutely is not that.
The case for "Alternative Reality Game" is pretty thin too, since there's no "intense player involvement with a story that takes place in real time and evolves according to players' responses".
It's just a "Alternative TV Show Advertisement". Transparency, please.

You appear to have accidentally gone live on a large fraction of Firefox installs which didn't opt into anything, and the addon metadata makes it look like malware. A lot of people are pissed. Furthermore, no one involved with this project or with Mozilla seems to be doing PR damage control, or showing any awareness of what's happening.
