QA/Firefox3.6/TestPlan:DLL Blocklisting

DLL Blocklisting

• Development Status: - In progress (date)
• Feature Testing: - In progress (date)

Overview

There have been dangerous DLLs that have found their way into the applications directory and have been causing crashiness. The solution here is to blacklist any dlls that are not expected to run with firefox. Any malware dlls should not load and be displayed in the addon blocklist site.

The second part is to whitelist any accepted components in the applications directory.
