Title: Keep Getting Unreputable Message For Verified Safe Extension
Post by: Tritium75 on June 28, 2019, 07:58:56 PM

I keep getting a message for the Firefox extension 'Switch To Previous Active Tab & Reload All Tabs'. I'm absolutely positive that the extension is not malicious. Please fix this.

I reported it. However, the message showed up again. How long does it take to fix this type of problem?

Hi Tritium75,

The detection has been cleared now today, so you should no longer see the message about the browser extension.

Thanks very much! I, and I'm sure the developer, and all the other users greatly appreciate it.
