Check Mozilla Firefox themes for malicious before their publication code as it does with other modules?

I understand that Mozilla checks Firefox Add - ons for malicious code and accept only and signs if they are clean and safe, however, there is no mention anywhere if they do the same thing with the topics even if they are considered a type of Add on. So Mozilla checks themes of malware before they are downloaded, because even though they are just images they may still contain malicious code?

If Mozilla does it would be nice if it could indicate somewhere on his website and I also sign themes. If Mozilla doesn't, it would be advisable that it should.

I don't know if there is a process of review of the 'light themes"like there is complete themes and extensions. If you can't find a clear answer to that, you could follow with the team of modules on their forum here: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons

A light theme composed of two images (usually PNG or JPEG), one for the upper part of the browser and one for the bottom. More information: https://developer.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Themes/Lightweight_themes

The types of images that pose a risk of security generally exploit a flaw in the management of a program of the image file. This kind of loophole must usually be fixed with a patch for Firefox (or another program), and I would be surprised if the first is light in a theme rather than, say, an image shared on social media or a targeted attack. But it could happen.

It can be difficult to determine if an image uses an image analysis to be without a specialized malware research environment because the effects is perhaps not obvious to an overworked code auditor. Do you have any ideas/suggestions on how it should be?

    I downloaded Adobe uninstall (for Mac, OS x 10.4ff) and he ran to get rid of old shards of Adobe Flash, be very careful to follow the Adobe provided through their Web site.

  • Cannot download Mozilla FireFox. Microsoft says its an unknown Editor, who is in!

    In early April, I downloaded Mozilla Firefox. For two weeks, that it worked perfectly. Then when he offered some Applications, I have investigated them, but decided to not choose any. When I tried to leave the page to go back to my MSN home page, however, I couldn't do it. So I restarted my laptop, thinking I could start again. But no, I had returned to the Aps page yet. This happened twice more, closed for five minutes and I tried again. Success! But I was still furious with Firefox, so I downloaded Google Chrome and then uninstalled Firefox.

    After struggling with Chrome for another two weeks, because it does not work well with a relatively weak signal of blue UBS, I decided to go back to Firefox. Went on the Mozilla site and downloaded the same version I had before. But when I tried to install it, Microsoft intervened, claiming that she was of "Unknown Publisher" and could be dangerous. If I wanted to deal with the risk, however, I was able to proceed with the installation. But when I tried to install it, Microsoft says that it is corrupted! and refused.
    Then, I went through my files and found the icon of Firefox I had installed in April, he dragged on the desktop and tried to install it. However, Microsoft says again, it was from an unknown Publisher and could be dangerous, etc. And when I tried the same Firefox I had before, Microsoft has again refused, saying, corrupt! "
    It's exasperating recent history concerning my attempts frustrated trying to install Firefox. Mozill Firefox has been around for many years and is well known, then how dare Microsoft argue that Firefox from an "Unknown Publisher" and then claim that downloading the same who worked before was "corrupt"!?

  • Why Mozilla Firefox uses Google as their search on the web if Google stores everything we look for?

    Why Mozilla Firefox use Google as their search engine if Google stores everything you are looking for and tracking what you do online? I have nothing against Firefox, I wonder why.

    This partnership is as old as Firefox itself, but each user can use any search engine they cars not to use - no reason, you should use Google simply because it is the default in Firefox.

    The search engines in the search bar can be removed.

    The search engine used in the Awesome Bar can be changed through subject: config.

    The search engine on the subject: home page can be changed, although not as easily as with the Awesome Bar.

    As to 'why', who knows? When Google offered to help Mozilla with financial support through their search engine is the search engine by default for Firefox, Mozilla had to say no to something that any other search engine is also at this time?
