This is the worst intrusive add-on toolbar I've ever seen. To add insult to injury, Facebook connectivity was added without permission. Steer clear of this turkey.

UPDATE: no way to add a response to developer's comments below, so I'll do it here.

"but, uhh, we don't and indeed can't connect to your Facebook account without your permission."

But, uhh, I never said anything about you connecting to my Facebook account. I said your add-on **added Facebook connectivity** without permission - you installed a toolbar with Facebook buttons. But, uhh (2), I'm sure you know that any Facebook connectivity toolbar also means that Facebook scripts have also been installed, Such scripts can run whether or not the user connects to his/her Facebook account.

Facebook scripts can collect IP-specific information about video files being downloaded with your add-on. That information can then be easily correlated with a Facebook user's account via the IP address.

Any installation of Facebook scripts on a webpage without the user's permission compromises that user's privacy by running scripts that record web activity.

"maybe come back and reconsider if our addon is really the worst you've seen in your 60+ years"

I didn't publish any information about my age here and that information is not included in my Mozilla profile. Note that I would not take personal information about you, regardless of how publicly accessible that information was posted on one forum, and copy it to another forum for display. However, now that I know you're researching me in order to use information about me in other forums, I'll revise my GoodReads profile accordingly.

"We use the same Facebook graph API that everyone else uses, with the same permission dialog box that show in the 2nd screenshot in the About section"

This "same permission dialog box that shows in the 2nd screenshot in the About section" does not appear during installation of your add-on. Since the issue here is that you added the toolbar without permission during installation, whether or not you used the same API that "everybody else uses" is irrelevant. What's relevant is that you used it without permission. Is that what "everybody else" really does this API?

And yes, this is the worst intrusively installed toolbar I can remember (not that my memory is any good, but...). However, I will say that the practice of attempting such intrusive installations has been on the increase lately. I've noticed more and more shareware programs at Download.com are "obscuring" such installations in the "Custom install" option. In the past that was where informed users went to use alternate installation directories and select different program features. Toolbars for different products had previously been offered in different installation steps. That's no longer the case.

Yours succeeded with me where the others fail because it wasn't present during ANY part of the installation operation. Your success with me is what makes yours "the worst".
"We honestly just try to build the best product we can (and do it for free)."

I know you're doing the work honestly. It's just that for an honest mistake, this was a HUGE one.

I make huge mistakes too. Mine was the sentence "here's another temporary negative review". It was grossly unfair and I apologize. I've removed it from the original text of the review.

Now I'm off to fix that GoodReads profile.

Only imports settings in RDF files. Useless for client-sided email programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail.

Handy address book context menu items, efficient function, easy install, compatibility with 2...9. Suggestion: how about similar context menus in the write/reply/forward compose windows? In addition to right-clicking addresses, a context menu popup when a blank addressee line is right-clicked ("Insert from address book", etc) would be really handy. Regardless, it's fine as is. Nice work!
