Just to confirm, you're referring to FlashGot, as in
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/220 and
http://flashgot.net, correct?

There's also FlashGet (http://www.flashget.com), which is something
completely different. The two get confused a lot, so just
double-checking before I start poking some folks about your report.

Note that you're always welcome to notify our add-ons team directly

power to ensure our users are kept secure and their privacy protected.
