The spoofstick extension doesn't allow forefox being recognized by
Spywareblaster (Javacoolsoftware) when downloaded ans installed in a new
profile. Worked already, but adding thid extension in a new profile invalides
the log recognize



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.have firefox 1.0 and SPW working with Mozilla firefox survey enabled (blocking
tracking cookies) - 2 others surveys (IE settings and sites)
2.create a new profile
3.download and install spoofstick 1.03 
4. open SPW : all options disabled
5.enable all of them - close SPW
6.update spoofstick 1.03 to 1.04 bu updating option in extensions menu
(extension non available on Mozilla/firefox website)
7.open SPW : option Mozilla Firefox disabled again. Others stay active.
8 enable again : it works

9. if tou don't enable once, after a few system startings Mozilla FF option
definitively blocked in SPW for the profile. You have to creante another if you
want the tracking cookies blocking option active for Mozilla/Firefox 


Actual Results:  
It works well



Expected Results:  
Not blocking another software. It comes from a security modules mismatch
probably : improve better compatibily with spoofstick and SPW would be nice,
both of them are useful.

Not a bug in Firefox, but a bug in Spoofstick.
