QUOTE: NoScript, the security add-on for Firefox, has been upgraded to protect against clickjacking. The new improvement to NoScript, called ClearClick, can detect if there is a hidden, embedded element within the web page. It then displays a warning message asking the user if they still want to click on it. Maone said ClearClick will likely stop all clickjacking attempts.
