Muito bom para quem considera a nova reforma ortográfica um erro colossal para a nossa língua portuguesa, e só o Firefox, diferente dos outros navegadores, fornece um dicionário que segue a Acordo Ortográfico de 1990.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data.
