Doesn't seem like you really understand what this article is saying. I think it's saying that it sniffs packets and presents the results of cookies in a user-friendly manner so that any average joe can do the same hacking techniques that were previously not so easy. I believe he's saying, in theory, you could packet sniff at an unsecured wireless point and log in as other people's Facebook accounts by using their generated cookies. You don't need to actually install this add-on to be vulnerable. You install it to be the hacker.
This is how to install Firesheep to hack Facebook or Twitter accounts. This is disseminated for educational purposes only and not recommended for general use. However, I have posted already earlier how to protect your account information from this hacking software that can hack Facebook, Twitter or other accounts.

I wanted this, Even installed Firefox for it, I get a Firefox theme, called FireSheep..
I've never really used FireFox let alone the add-on's but there got to be an easier way. Might be such a thing it's been removed.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
