[SOLVED] Immunizing Firefox

BlazingGeek · 07-06-2007, 10:49 AM

I notice that the Spybot SD "immunizing" feature works for IE and Opera. Is there a way to extend this to Firefox as well or is Firefox just awesome and doesn't need it.

Firefox doesn't need to use the immunize feature as Firefox does not support ActiveX

K Thanks... I was just curious.

I'd also use NoScript and only allow sites that you trust, otherwise temporally allow if need be.

NoScript - JavaScript/Java/Flash blocker for a safer Firefox experience!
- what is it? - InformAction
