Is this available on Chrome?

I'm not sure I got it all. If you use BlackSheep, does it prevent FireSheep at all from your usage in the shared network or could it only notify you that someone is using it in that current time? Only detection without prevention?

Assuming you are at the library, and Blacksheep then detects someone using firesheep's ip. How would you then find out which physical computer is trying to steal your data? Thanks in advance

@ao2579 Mozilla does not blacklist attack addons-they can have legitimate uses, such as testing one's own security or demonstrating attacks to students. Mozilla only blacklists things that contain malicious content themselves, such as viruses or spyware.
