Mozilla warns of Firefox China add on
Closed Published November 24th, 2008 in Browser Security, Firefox
Mozilla has advised Firefox users not to try add-ons classed as ‘experimental’, such as the recently released China Channel, because they could cause computer problems. Firefox add-ons allow users to personalise their browsing and add additional features. Because Firefox is open source, many of these add-ons are created by third-party developers.
Add-ons classed as ‘experimental’ are still being tested, Mozilla warned, although they are available for public use. The company does not recommend downloading such add-ons unless the user is very technically minded. "They have not been approved, so they may pose risks to users," said a spokeswoman.
