Description
This is more of a question. For the sake of preserving things and potentially analyzing malicious extensions it does make sense to keep them somewhere, but I wonder how good of any idea it is if potentially harmful extensions are distributed.
Recently some firefox extensions were found to be malicious or at least weakened security: https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/07/browser-extensions-turn-nearly-1-million-browsers-into-website-scraping-bots/
Versions of these might exist in the archive or there might be others that have seen seen vulnerabilities being reported. Of course the disclaimer is always that unsupported means there is a potential for this regardless, but to what level is user protection on the table for this project?
(I'm also wondering this, because as provider of the mirror, I certainly don't want to have a part in distributing harmful software)
