Firefox 3.5.3 Warnings Is anyone else getting the warnings from Firefox about add-ons concerning Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant or Windows Presentation Foundation?
It keeps poping up when I use Firefox 3.5.3. https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/
Last listing.

Just found another thread in Security, but it doesn't explain what is going on.

yes, I also got the warning. Firefox automatically disabled a Microsoft plugin, which I think is a good idea for security. I do not want any useless plugins and/or add-ons in my Firefox browser.

Apparently it's been taken off the blocklist (well...it's still listed on the site but it's not blocked anymore in the browser).
So I re-enabled it. I figured if someone really wants to hack my browser, have at it. I'm up for a challenge. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to list.
