removed references to plugin blocklisting
Blocklisting is the ability to disable errant add-ons, plugins, and other third-party software for Firefox users. For graphics drivers, please see [[Blocklisting/Graphics|this policy]].
= Blocklisting Policy =
No matter how secure, fast, or stable Firefox is, one encounter with bad third-party software can cause permanent damage to Firefox, your computer, or worse. That's why Mozilla considers it our responsibility to help users avoid those encounters. One tool we use to do that is blocking dangerous third-party add-ons, plugins, and DLLs from running in Firefox.
