What does the use default mean in the firefox permission area?
Im just now setting up my Firefox with the security it has to offer. But I am confused with the plug ins that are asked for me to under the page info, permissions tab to choose whether to use default, always ask, allow or block. What is the default mean? Isnt that unsafe especially if I am a novice with technology? Im very confused. Please help?

The "default" setting is the general setting. For example, you can set most plugins to have three different permissions:
- Always Activate - all sites are allowed to use the plugin automatically
- Ask to Activate - Firefox displays a notification to you so you can decide whether a particular site can use a plugin
- Never Activate - Firefox hides the plugin from sites, they do not even know you have it installed
These permissions are set on the Add-ons page, either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Your list of installed plugins is on the right. Ones that were previously set to Never Activate sort to the bottom.
When you review the plugins in the Permissions panel for a specific website, you can give the site more or less permissions than you see on the Add-ons page.
The panel works similarly for other permissions, such as setting cookies. But rather than write an essay, please let us know what other questions you have.
