HTTPS Firefox - a good extension for getting on public wifi?

Has anyone heard of the firefox extension https firefox? Here's a link:

My daughter will be in Vietnam - and using her laptop with the hotel wifi (which is probably not secure - I'm reading on travel forums that much of Vietnam wifi is not secure - or only WEP). She goes online for gmail, facebook and youtube. Any thoughts about whether this extension will provide some safety? Or is there another recommendation?

Unfortunately, I won't be there. She's going with my husband - and neither of them know anything about running antispyware, antivirus, etc - although my daughter does know to use WOT.

Thanks.

Lynn.
