The cat is out of the bag: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/10/24/nsa_encryption_hack/
Actual situation is as feared and predicted in 2005.
Is this a solution?
Quote
Stop using 1024-bit keys, and use longer prime numbers, and
Use the latest revisions of protocols (which require longer prime numbers)

I do not think so, when encryption gets more and more  secure governments want to have a look where the data resides unecrypted, and that is inside your computer!

These are big, big cats and an enormous amount of mice to chase.  :D

OK that is now verging on paranoia who has personal information so secret (legal) that it must be kept hidden

Add-ons may spy on you: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/3pwcey/firefox_extension_download_manager_s3_asks_for/

Add-on now removed, but not yet added to this blocklist.

See the blocklist: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/

Certain add-ons can enhance your browser security. Excessive and unwanted add-ons can cripple security seriously!
