Its true if its downloaded from mozilla website not if from other websites.
If you go to Options->Content. You have the option of asking Firefox to tell (warn) you when an extension is being installed. Extensions, can contain malicious code, have access to the clients browser and personal data and should ONLY be installed from trusted locations like the Mozilla website.
You can add to the list of trusted locations by clicking the exceptions button next to the "warn before isntalling extensions" setting.
Extensions can be directly installed from any website. However the install prompt is always shown.Quote:
