What is the Shield Recipe Client?
Shield Recipe Client is an add on for the Mozilla’s famous browser “Firefox“. It is automatically added to the browser and doesn’t really ask for the user’s permission. This is contradicting of the browser’s normal behavior since the user’s permission is required whenever an addon is to be added. However, it is to be noted, that it is classified as a system add-on and was included firstly, in a beta version of Firefox. According to the reports, the add-on is responsible for installing recipes for the Shield Program. Mozilla classifies the functionality of the add-on as “The add-on provides a restricted sandbox for recipe actions to execute in and provides “driver functions” for recipe actions to perform privileged actions“. This add-on wasn’t however, received by everyone and only a percentage of users experienced its existence. Some other reports suggest that the addon is just another user satisfaction data collecting tool from Firefox. These types of tools are often released by companies in the search for opinions on their products. Often, data from them is collected and reviewed by developers to enhance features for users or improve the performance of their application/software.
