Good job for Mozilla to stand up against rampant bullies by people who think they have authority to misuse it as they will. People should not simply follow some stupid and audacious requests unless a lawful court order given by a sound court decision is presented.

Should we just ban everything ?

Well, why don't we just ban everything in the world from: 

•  travelling
• surfing the net
• checking mail
• playing games (e.g. Starcraft 2, Halo, C&C ...)
• ...
• ...
• ...
• ...

(You can fill in the above on your own)

If banning everything doesn't work... why don't we just kill everyone ? Lol. Get a life ! Really. Not everyone is terrorist just because they use an internet or because they are trying to plan their travel ahead using some maps application. 

Hey, those militaries and government agencies are using GPS and maps applications too... aren't they all actually terrorists in disguise ? 

Look, there's many ways you can look at things. So chill and don't get overly paranoid.
