we've been seeing malware attacks which are installing malicious extensions or convincing users to do that. I'm not sure that the extension blocklisting is going to work to prevent these malicious extensions, as they can just change their own GUIDs or install to the application directory.
No surprises. Extensions are 1000 times more dangerous than ActiveX.

RE: NotParker
How are they more dangerous? ActiveX is a subset of COM, and Extensions use XPCOM - I don't see a difference as both can be exploited to do bad by simply virtue of having an idiot between the computer and chair.
A computer is as only as secure as the end user wishes to make it.
