Detecting FireFox Extentions
Firefox maps installed extensions' images under chrome:// URLs, so a page can load them and learn which extensions a visitor runs. Naming is per-extension rather than standard, so the post publishes a mapped list and a live demo. The result fingerprints the user and reveals which plugin weaknesses, such as the IE Tab engine switch, can be attacked.
