Tried to download Font General for Facebook and Firefox prevented the site from asking me to download. Is it a "bad" program?

I was searching for emoticons on Facebook....and a link came up for Font General ...to use different type fonts on Facebook. I clicked on the download for FireFox and a small box popped up saying "FireFox has prevented this site (www.fontgeneral.com) from asking you to install software on your computer. There was a button that I could click to ALLOW....but I wanted to know if there was a possibility of the program being known to be unsafe.

Firefox only comes with two sites pre-approved to install add-ons, because add-ons have full privileges and you want to be pretty careful about which ones you install.

The warning you got was a general notice. As far as I know, Mozilla doesn't test or even try to keep track of add-ons that don't come from the official add-ons site.

Facebook and web search would be good resources for further research.

I'd look at other users' comments and see what they say positive and negative about it.

Wow....can't seem to find ANY comments, other than people not sure how to use the program. I guess I'm going to give it a shot. I sure hope I don't regret this! Thank you for your assistance!
