Thanks for reassuring me of that, Michael ! I'm still a bit unsure about 
installing mozex from that unknown source. Can it be trusted ? Its certificate 
is not even signed by a CA, and the site is not part of the mozdev.org 
hierarchy.

Just to make sure: did you install mozex from this link ?

Have you never had any security problems (your data being maliciously used) 
after the installation ?

Thanks for the feedback, Michael !
