FireFox security test add-on was backdoored

[Seth Cohn]

Thanks for the headsup.  I'm giving a talk next weekend in NYC about
Firefox addons (non technical, more of an overview of the way they are
changing the net into Web 3.0 slowly but surely).  It's been a good
talk (I've given it a few times so far, it's on video from when I gave
in Montreal last year), so maybe we can schedule doing it at one or
more of the GNHLUG meetings if any folks are interested.
