The firefox store is again full of spam

A few months ago, the Firefox store was filled with malicious and spam-filled extensions. Luckily, the problem was solved soon. But it seems that the browser store is a victim of the same situation again. Because it is again invaded by spam. These are fake extensions that do not fulfill the function they advertise.

The Firefox store is again full of spam

Those that have been seen the most are those that announce that you can see premiere movies in cinemas in 4K. But the reality is that they do not fulfill anything they promise. Since at the moment of downloading it is seen that the name is different from that of the file.

Spam invades the Firefox store again

The good part is that these extensions don't seem to pose any danger, at least for now. None of them contains any malware or viruses, or Trojans. They are also not using the computer to mine cryptocurrencies. So far at least there have been no cases of this. Although the recommendation is that if any of them has been installed, it should be removed as soon as possible. Since this way possible future problems are avoided.

Firefox has not commented at the moment about the problem in its extensions store. Everything indicates that the automatic extension control system (previously it was manual) is responsible for this wave of spam. Although they haven't said anything.

Without a doubt, for users it is very annoying. But the good part is that there are no dangers at the moment. The important thing is to check in case of download that the file has the same name as the Firefox extension. If not, you know it is false.
