in past 6 or 8 weeks, i read a post about a sneaky addon that would do a
'call home' that tracked sign in entries and was intended to capture passwords
and such for banks and other such logins.
in past 3 weeks, i have had a drastic slow down of firefox in this install,
which i use mostly, but no slow down in other installs.
anyone familiar with this or know where i might find info on such?
tia.
later.
peace out.
