    maybe that is the way with FF rapid release, leave it be. easier not to code and recode every time.

    I ran McAfee once & I never rated Site Advisor in Firefox or Chrome/Iron. I always thought it was sluggish & problematical. WOT is far better IMO. I too changed to MSE. The 64 bit version of MSE is incredibly light. It's altered my whole approach to security suites; which is basically, there's no point in them.

    This is the same add-on that also defeated ASLR in Firefox? Why is anyone using this?
