Extension Defender for Firefox Description

Extension Defender for Firefox serves to provide users with a simple method of monitoring extensions installed inside the browser in order to actively detect spyware, adware or malware contained inside add-ons. The inner engine of the extension relies on an online service that exposes installed add-ons to an in-depth scan, matching the files against a database of signatures which is updated on a daily basis. This allows for the add-on to protect Firefox in live mode, without user intervention. Accommodating it on the system shouldn’t pose significant problems; simply drag and drop the extension onto an open Firefox window and give it permission to install. It should become visible through an icon that is placed in the navigation toolbar, allowing users to immediately start a scan process. Depending on the number of extensions installed inside your browser, scan timings may vary, however, it will not linger too much before displaying a full report. This will include suspicious extensions (if any), alongside options to remove them. The monitoring engine is active throughout your open Firefox sessions and whenever a new extension is installed or an existing one is updated, the scan process is initiated automatically. If any suspicious files are detected, the icon in the navigation toolbar displays a notification that makes you aware of potentially dangerous content. All in all, Extension Defender for Firefox delivers an effective and working technology that is able to warn and keep you away from spyware and adware, thereby providing a safer browsing environment.
