Any Logs? Problem with webmail.
If your plugin is activated firefox just hangs using googlemail or lotus notes webmail.

Hmmm, my test-installations have no problems with googlemail. Maybe an unsuspected incompatibility with another extension? Which version of Firefox do you use? And do you have other extensions installed? Concerning logs: Start your Firefox from the commandline. The extension dumps some information to stdout.

Slow
When I installed the extension my browsing speed slowed to a crawl, most site would take about 1-2 minutes to render/load the external files like CSS, images etc were taking the longest. Disabling the extension brought me back up to speed.

Some slowdowns were expected, as now every outgoing http request is intercepted and examined. But a slowdown to the extend you describe have not been experienced during our tests. Please tell us more about your setup (Firefox version, installed extensions, OS, computer and internet speed). I uploaded an updated version of the extension (0.8.1.1) that should provide some minor speedups and we are actively looking for the bottleneck now.

One more thing I have noticed that with my settings not sure...but images seem to redownload. For instance if I have blah.png 50 times on page it will download it 50 times instead of 1 time and calling the other 49 from cache. My cache is on but still occurs. Maybe thats the cause of the localrodeo slowdown for me since its having to process each request. The page I have been using to test it out was weather.com for my city. The page loads extremely slow and doesn't fully load for quite some time. Disabling localrodeo the page loads in about 2-4 secs. Still if someone visited a forum and there were dozens of unique images for signatures etc localrodeo would have same dilemma if that is the cause of the slowdown. Good luck on finding the bottleneck and if you need anymore info I shall provide as best I can. ... link ... Comment

Thanks, & Chink in the Armor?
I just wanted to thank you for writing the Local Rodeo Firefox extension, and to urge you to improve and release it to the Firefox community at large. I think the work you're doing is important, especially as damn little security software is addressing this particular malware menace right now!
I use ZoneAlarm Pro to enforce "threshold control" on outgoing internet requests. A few days ago I noticed that after booting Firefox it was throwing up a new verification popup once every couple of minutes, always pointed at a new IP address. If I denied any of these requests Firefox would come to a grinding halt. To be repeatedly prompted to validate a back channel I didn't approve of was driving me nuts. I had to do something. I started by collecting WHOIS reports on the addresses involved, hoping to understand who might be behind the phenom. But the companies involved didn't seem to have anything in common. I then ran Firefox in "safe" mode thinking one of the extensions might be the cause. Nada! So I proceeded to run various malware scanners including NOD32, F-Prot, Spyware Doctor, Trojan Hunter, etc. Bupkus! I noticed Opera wasn't having the same problem, and started thinking about moving to it, or de/reinstalling Firefox. But one of my searches turned up a page which mentioned "DNS Pinning" and that instantly struck me as relevant. A google search on "DNS Pinning" & "Firefox" quckly lead me to your LocalRodeo page, and that's what fixed this problem. So thank you! Btw, I see what looks like a possible "chink in the armor" which might be used to defeat LocalRodeo. The extension seems to work because ZoneAlarm is no longer popping up every two minutes to connect me to a corporate site I have no interest in. But I'm still being prompted once when I first start Firefox. So the code behind this exploit seems to be able to run once when Firefox boots. If that's true, it may also be possible for it to disable LocalRodeo before it has a chance to take hold. ... Link ... Comment |
