The add-on does not appear in my add-on listings and I can not figure out how to remove it. PLUS, even more troubling is I see the browser constantly accessing the author's web site www.answers.com while doing banking activities! troubling! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Known Issues Extensions Extensions installed under previous versions of Firefox may be incompatible with Minefield. History and Bookmarks This release is intended to test the backend infrastructure and importing. Most of the user interface changes are in flux and testing is not needed at this point. Note that the new bookmarks and history storage for this release are separate from the previous versions, so if data corruption happens, you can still go back to Firefox 2.0 and have the old data.
