Rogue Extensions Warning

Post by windowz »

Hi,

I've recently discovered much to my dismay that Mozilla allows extensions bundled with adware as IE Tab Plus has gone completely rogue on the community.
As NoScript has saved many users from this malware, I wonder if there would be a possibility for noscript to also act as a sort of early warning system against these kinds of extensions too?

More information on the malware extension and it's mode of operation can be found here:

As Mozilla themselves think that spyware that sends referrers is completely a-OK, I'm hoping that NoScript can step in to help stem the tide of adware instead.

Additionally, here is the forum post where Mozilla tells me basically to stuff it:
