Is WOT a bad feature? It says that it's not safe. I got rid of it in my accessibility programs, but it's still on the top of my screen. How do iI get rid of it?

I don't know how WOT appeared all of a sudden, but it it's risky, I don't want it.

There is an extension named Web of Trust - Safe Browsing Tool , which is legitimate. It's uses crowd-sourcing to help the user understand whether a particular website is safe or not. If that is what you appear to be using then, no, it's not a bad feature per se. Check your list of installed extensions by clicking the orange Firefox button then selecting Add-ons. If it's there then you can easily remove it.

Thanks for your quick response to my question. As long as it's a safe add-on, I'll keep it. Thanks again
