The tool is excellent, but the current problem is that the Browser Guard for Mozilla Firefox version is not receiving updates to the latest version available like other browsers. The website says it is already at version 3.0 and here it is at version: 2.6.27. Please update, we know how important it is to keep the software updated and with the latest definitions.
