Those "quietly installed" things are plugins, not add-ons. Firefox doesn't even have extensions, if I recall correctly.

- pohl 15y agoFirefox does have extensions. I believe, in FF parlance, that extension is synonymous with add-on. (please correct me with a citation to the contrary, though) The MS incident was not a plugin (see link) so one cannot assume that all things quietly installed are plugins. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/963707 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/963707
- windsurfer 15y agoAh, I'm sorry :)
- carussell 15y agoExtensions are a specific type of add-on. "Add-ons" encompass extensions, themes, NPAPI plugins, and sometimes searchbar engines, depending on how the speaker regards them.
