my mcafee security is labeled unsigned , is it nownot to be trusted
the latest update to firefox 40.0.2 I now see on the Extensions page that Mcafee Safekey and Mcafee web advisor could not be verified for use in firefox.. They were both ok before version 40 . Do I need to uninstall them?
Chosen solution
In the future, Firefox will refuse to run unsigned extensions. In other words, if Mozilla has not signed the extension, Firefox will auto-disable it. This will start in Firefox 41.
The first step being taken in Firefox 40 is simply to warn you that you have some unsigned extensions so you can check for updates and/or inform the publisher about this impending problem. This does not stop the extensions from running.
Most likely McAfee will submit their extensions to Mozilla for signing before Firefox 41 is released in about 4 weeks. If they don't, they will have a lot of unhappy users! Or those users will discover that the extensions were not really doing all that much.
