Thanks for confirming that there is a way. I've found what appears to be the 
latest version of mozex for Firefox at:

https://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/mozex107-en.html

I wonder if this source is trusted. Its certificate is signed by itself. When 
I click on the downloaded xpi file, Firefox says it's "unsigned". I fear 
installing an extension that might potentially pry my privacy.

Has anybody installed mozex from that site ?

Thanks
Paulo
