Mozilla Pulls Two Infected Add-Ons

According to this Mozilla blog post, two infected Firefox add-ons went unnoticed after security screening failed to detect them. Both add-on have been taken care of but not before being downloaded an untold number of times.

Two experimental add-ons, Version 4.0 of Sothink Web Video Downloader and all versions of Master Filer were found to contain Trojan code aimed at Windows users. Version 4.0 of Sothink Web Video Downloader contained Win32.LdPinch.gen, and Master Filer contained Win32.Bifrose.32.Bifrose Trojan. Both add-ons have been disabled on AMO.

Fixed.

Because no amount of tinkering with Firefox ever made it as good as chrome in tab management and how quickly it opened and closed and resources used. And now it has some great extensions and it's even better!

I sort of agree - on my notebook there's a difference in speed between the two (chrome being much faster), but on my desktop they're the same basically.
