Hi,

Is there a security to prevent someone from uninstalling passifox extension? Because if it is enough to remove it to get access to all the password savedin firefox then it is useless. Thanks

No such protection is necessary. The whole point of this extension is that you use KeePass to store your passwords rather than Firefox.

If you save passwords in Firefox then they will be accessible whether or not you have this extension installed.

If you don't save passwords in Firefox (or you delete them) there will be no passwords saved in Firefox anyway.
