These add-ons cannot be installed on Firefox. If you try to install a blocklisted add-on, Firefox will display a message that will inform you of the danger. Common examples of this message are "The extension ... is known to be dangerous, and can't be installed." If the add-on was already installed before being blocklisted, it will be disabled and the Add-ons window will display the text "Disabled for your protection." The current blocklist is at: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/ -Sunil ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
