Mozilla deleted the Kaspersky Extension after a recent update. I redownloaded it by searching on Mozilla’s addon website. Is this the official extension page https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kaspersky-protection-2020/  ? I’m worried that I might have installed a fake. After installing, I immediately noticed “This is not a Recommended Extension. Make sure you trust it before installing.Learn more” under the add button. I reinstalled Kaspersky Total Security to get the extension back and Mozilla deleted it.

Hello @AskingAQuestion,

Welcome!

Kaspersky Protection 2020 Author Kaspersky, Version 30.255.180.0, Last Updated February 15, 2020  is legitimate✅

The original extension addon.xpi still exists, in C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Total Security 20.0\FFExt\light_plugin_firefox, it’s been renamed addon.xpi.old - refer: Patch h & Kaspersky Protection extensions, Chrome v30.255.180.0 & Firefox v 30.255.180.0

The “warning” is new from Mozilla, refer topic raised by @wgcuser  - Install Kaspersky Protection Firefox extension to increase your level of protection. Make sure you trust the extension before you install it

Thank you🙏

On the extension page it links to https://products.s.kaspersky-labs.com/ to download builds. The site doesn’t seem to be an official Kaspersky page. When I google the entire URL, the first says “servidor de Kaspersky Lab - kaspersky-labs.com products.s.kaspersky-labs.com No information is available for this page. Learn why.” The site doesn’t have KTS 20.0.14.1085. Sorry if I’m sounding paranoid

I was on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kaspersky-protection-2020/ then I scrolled to “about this extension” and clicked that link

Hello @AskingAQuestion,

Thank you!

Ok, About this extension, the link is for Kaspersky AV applications that the Mozilla/Kaspersky Protection 2020 extension is compatible with:

 

 

➡ Additional:  products.s.kaspersky-labs.com is a legitimate Kaspersky repository for Kaspersky AV applications✅, not Kaspersky extensions.

Thank you🙏
