An interesting snippet from the Python backend:

  # We're not supposed to show downloads for these countries (607127#c10):
  # Cuba, Iran, Syria, N. Korea, Myanmar, Sudan. Go figure.
  REDACTED = ('CU', 'IR', 'SY', 'KP', 'MM', 'SD')

Didn't Mozilla get a special exemption from the US government to allow them to export their crypto ("arms") to those countries? I don't see why they would try to hide the fact that they are allowing downloads from those countries.
