You can write anywhere to disk where user has privileges (at least in FF). Not sure if that's enough.

But I don't think you need a CA at all since plugins can see the full DOM (whether SSL or not). Like if you "inspect element", view source, or run firebug.

The plugin is already written too: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/windowshopper...

Mozilla should just pull this plugin from addons, seriously.

What am I missing here? What makes this addon so bad? It looks like it injects buttons/overlays to show "lower" prices of items you are already viewing. While I have zero desire to install this addon I'm failing to see what it's doing that makes it deserving of being pulled.

The add-on from similarproducts.net uses superfish technology.

It _is_ SuperFish, see the about page.

The company is scum, as has been proven the last couple of days. I don't know why anyone (Mozillas Add-On place included) should support them and carry their software.
