This article is about some add-ons that are not safe.
Shockingly, :) they got by Mozilla's eyes

I might not post this, except I suspect that there are other add-ons that are not secure.

I recently had Firefox 3.5 open web pages "magically"

I was at no sites that could do this themselves.
Around the same time, I discovered my own IP spoofed on my server web logs AND a "secret-ish" web page was accessed using that spoof.

Since all my add-ons, except for one, were ones I have used for a long time, I dropped the new one.

I have had no more problems.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but such a string of coincidences is suspicious.
