Corona Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I noticed the 2 DRM plugins and Windows Presentation Foundation plugin for quite some time now. I disabled them a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razz Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thank you Hazel, I appreciate you making me and other Firefox users aware of this. I just posted on the Wilders Security Forum asking if anyone knows what Microsoft figures that the two "DRM" plugins are needed for. I figure I'll disable these two plugins as well. Thanks again A-Z Freeware Launcher Plus on MajorGeeks A-Z Freeware Launcher Plus on Softpedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ident Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I noticed the 2 DRM plugins and Windows Presentation Foundation plugin for quite some time now. I disabled them a long time ago. WPF should be caught by FF any way. No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 19, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 19, 2009 I disabled them a long time ago. The same here! I just had the feeling sometime ago they could and possibly would be exploited which is why I disabled them on my system. Companies automatically adding add-ons into Firefox without user consent should re-think their strategy! Or Mozilla could fix it permanently by having Firefox refuse those types of add-on installs, and not allow any settings from unapproved add-ons to be written to the Firefox user profile!

Moderators Andavari Posted October 20, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 20, 2009 I forgot, I didn't disable it all that time ago, instead I uninstalled it. Better yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
