Hello,

We are sorry, but the Immuization does not work for Firefox, it is only for the Internet Explorer. ActiveX isnīt supported by Firefox, so there is no need for protection there.
Maybe in one of the coming versions there will be a bad download blocker for Firefox, but not at the moment.

But you can do the following:
Please go into your Firefox and choose "Tools" from the menubar above.
Then you choose "Options". Now select "Privacy" from the navigation bar on the left.
At the section "Cookies" you have to open the "+" by ticking it.
Please choose "Exceptions".
Now you are able to enter an address of a web site to block it or allow it.
Hope this helps.

Best regards

You can block all third party (tracking) cookies in your browser. The following article explains how to block them:
Why do other anti-spyware applications detect so many more tracking cookies?

However there appears that some third-party cookies may not be blocked in Firefox by setting the options in the above article. Please see the comments by Zenobia (http://forums.spybot.info/member.php?u=145) in last post of the following thread:
