Why did colorzilla disappear from my laptop and why doesn't Firefox allow it to download?

I used the zoom feature on colorzilla quite a bit, but now it's disappeared from my laptop. I googled colorzilla and got a link to www.colorzilla.com. The download link took me to www.colorzilla/firefox, and a "firefox prevented" notification appeared.

Is colorzilla not recommended by mozilla/firefox?

thank you

In Options > Security - there is a pref labeled Warn me when sites try to install add-ons = then click the Exceptions... button - you can add colorzilla.com to that list at the top of that dialog window, then click Allow

hello kmarble, this dialog is just a standard security measure that you can confirm and will show up on every third-party site which offers to install an addon - you can also download colorzilla directly from addons.mozilla.org...
