Add - ons are tested by firefox for security?

many times Add-ons are marked as malware by antivirus. Some also take a lot of cpu. is it safe to install from the firefox site?

All add-ons that are hosted on Addons.Mozilla.Org through a multi-step filtering process before being made public.
Can you provide the names of all the modules which have been identified as malware by antivirus application? Or are you going by hearsay?

As far as the consumption of RAM goes, no, they are not tested for the use of the RAM, but some are known as very hungry. Firebug is one; turn it off when not in use or create another profile to use Firebug, this is the usual advice here.

  • When you are looking for WeatherFox, I discovered that my bottom bar everything was gone. I can't figure out how to restore. The Add-ons are still installed.

    I just noticed this morning that the lower tool, including weatherfox, Hebrew calendar and several other modules, has completely disappeared. Maybe it's a matter of having inadvertently clicked on something one day when do not not paying attention. When I checked under Firefox preferences earlier, I went to < manage add-ons > and saw installed at all the modules have been installed yet. I can't find a way to restore the tool bar display lower.

    Having a back-up, I opened the time Machine to see if a previous Firefox homepage included the bottom bar. I don't know if I did not go far enough or if Firefox is somehow the opening to a new default value, involuntary without the lower bar, any distance back I go.

    During this time, writing this, I went back to Firefox preferences, and now the General Preferences dialog box is completely ruined, as if the size of the content of this dialog box had grown up, in two dimensions, so it is no longer within the area and parts of it are not available. It is truncated, in other words, as well on the side right and on the bottom. I can isn't even access the section modules. The last visible thing at the bottom of that box is the upper part of the line of text that is displayed as follows: 'Pick your add-ons Preferences.' It's as if someone came with an Exacto and sheared to the lower part of this line of text. And then there is in the lower left corner. Along the right side of the box, under the "Home Page", there are three buttons: use current Pages >, < use a bookmark > and < restore Dfau >, which is the point where the text ends.

    What the hell is happening? Now, it's not only a question of restoring the lower bar on my page of Firefox, with display modules, but apparently I need to figure out how to resize the preferences General dialog box, as well. I just checked: other preferences dialog boxes appear to be rising correctly.

    I use a Mac PowerBook G4 with Firefox version 3.6.13.

  • Recommendation of Firefox for security

    Email from Firefox recommends measures for safety... but when I try to know the recommendations, I get a popup that says page Mozilla isn't sure, so I can't display the recommendations

    First of all, you need to update Firefox 16.0.2, the version you are using of many known security holes, to stay safe please update as soon as POSSIBLE. Update Firefox to the latest version

    Then, what page you look at which gives you this message?

  • My modules are installed and above all always work as far as I can tell (icons on my status bar, for example), but Firefox tells me that no Add-ons are installed when I check the menu Add on - why this phenomenon happens?

    I use Firefox 5.0 on a MacBook with Snow Leopard. I have always used the latest version of Firefox, but I'm not 100% sure if the problem is with the update to 5.0 or later.
    I can't uninstall or update the modules in this way, which is quite annoying.

    This may be a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

    Remove files (extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created if necessary.

    See "extension corrupted files:

    If you see people with disabilities, is not compatible extensions in "tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button, on the left side of the search bar (or click on the"Find updates"button in older versions of Firefox) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.
