01 Firefox Reader icon lets you avoid spam, stalkers, malware
Always look for the "Reader" icon in the address bar (field) and if it's
there, click it to avoid all of the screen spam! This will also help avoid
spam, stalkers, trackers, predators and most malware content on web sites!

02 Ad Blocker : Web Advertising is Dead
THE TIME IS NOW ... time to take back the internet. Madison Ave. and a
million greedy jerks have had their way long enough. If they're not rich by
now, too bad! They got more obnoxious and rude every day. Then they got
crooked and underhanded, and downright criminal. They've flashed us, tracked
us, bored us and generally interrupted their way into our way of life.
Now you can banish them from your online experience. You need the ad blocker
called "Clearly." This new content-blocker blocks advertisements, tracking
scripts, malware and spyware at the source. Clearly actually prevents
unwanted content from even downloading. This saves battery and significantly
speeds up browsing.
