but the good use of hacking open an extensionis you can change the version support to support the next version of firefox(when you dont feel like reinstalling firefox to get Nightly tester tools to kick in as nightly tester tools only seems to enable the bump feature when the extensions already been installed)
Firefox has a similar plugin mechanism, in addition to extensions. Every firefox user probably uses a couple of plugins -- namely, Acrobat Reader and Flash.A malicious firefox plugin can do just as much harm as a malicious extension. In fact, a malicious extension can do plenty of damage too; they can include compiled binary code, in DLL form.
Lame article. It basically says "DL someone else's XPI file, open these two zip files, look around, make small changes, save them, and whoop-ti-doo you have a new extension."Buried as lame.
