- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14140604, 7 years agoI like the potential for this extension. It works well because it's blocked bad pup sites. It's also simple and easy to use. The only ongoing issue is every time I CLOSE Firefox, it crashes the browser. "Process error". (It leaves open an old FF process running in the background) I know it's the extension because when I uninstall it...the browser no longer crashes on closing. I will continue to use this extension because it seems lightweight and works, but the crashes are just an inconvenience.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13038173, 7 years agoThe latest version is working better than before. I can only say good things about this antimalware add on. Sure, it blocks suspicious sites that one sometimes want to visit, but hey there is also an option to override the antimalware setting and visit the page. Good 5 stars!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Miquel, 7 years agoHe hagut de desinstal·lar l'extensió perquè m'ho bloca quasi-absolutament tot. Google maps, Bing maps... bye bye malwarebytes.

I use Ublock0 + Umatrix and on some pages Malwarebytes seems to block things that are not blocked by those two tools. It would be a very good thing to add the possibility to see details of blocked resources.
EDIT: some false positives. Pages add-on detect as suspicious/malwares but are totally legit. The desktop application don't detect them and a search on virustotal give "all good" result. There is work to be done on the detection engine.
As a premium user of the desktop app I'm gonna stop using the Firefox add-on. Some measure of protection are already taken and I'm not interested in the functionality like "clickbait prevention" as long as I'm not a stupid user and know to use self judgement. Still in my collection, I will keep an eye on it.
However I think it could be a good add-on if you are not premium user of the desktop application.
Keep up the good work. - Rated 5 out of 5by antoniobailen, 7 years agoI am a premium MB user for 4 or 5 years. The extension is the best and I have it from the first moment that came out in beta.
Will this extension be paid? And for those who are already premium ?.
Thanks for your great work. - Rated 5 out of 5by Gabriel, 7 years ago

posted 7 years agosorry about the bad experience, can you please provide the URL that is in question above?
this is a BETA product and we are constantly trying to improve it via user feedback. - Rated 5 out of 5by paolpaul, 7 years agoSince problems were corrected about 1 month ago Malwarebytes along with ADWCleaner, a Malwarebytes program, have given me quick effective service. I also use Norton but so far, MBAM has taken care f me, not leaving anything for Norton to catch that was missed by MBAM.

I think this will be a great add-on to Firefox.
