MODERATORS
I don't know how technical you are but it looks likes this is a security token api to validate the trust of the environment. I believe that google is trying to propose a universal standard for everyone to use.
I think Firefox is standing negative because they want choice not 1 standard. This is the best I can do without going down a rabbit hole

I don't think saying Firefox/Mozilla is against standards is a fair assessment.

What they state is that this specific proposal means more hurdles to access the internet as an end user with no clear benefit, as it doesn't really achieve its stated end goal of reducing spam/bots/etc.
