The add-on served from: hxxp://www.manual-updater.com/firefox/v7_7.0.0.xpi should be blocklisted. Reasons: - It is served from hxxp://www.manual-updater.com/firefox/?clickid=wBE0Q6RGHFCDKA99HI640LV8&language=de which is a deceptive website - Looking at the add-on source it seems it loads it's whole functionality from an external server probably to avoid detection by antivirus etc. - I did not yet check what it does exactly as I'm not really comfortable with allowing the installation even in an VM (I replaced http:// with hxxp:// above to avoid accidentally opening the links when not intended.)
Looks like the server is no longer available, so I don't have enough data to take any action. This does appear to be part of a series of add-ons we're already dealing with separately, however.
