They are one of an increasing number of parasitic websites (or link-farms) that "host" popular freeware including Firefox extensions. Some like Softpedia even give you fake "awards" and encourage you to use them as your official download link. They exist solely to make money off advertising.They are unlikely to listen to you unless you sic a lawyer on them and who among us can afford one? Phil thanks Philip I was wondering whether I needed to do something about it. Was getting worried they were gonna charge me for people downloading my extension. thanks for the advice! Axel --
