 No. We are telling you that mozilla should remember your wish to not
download the font _over sessions_. This is a sensible request and should
be quite easy for the mozilla maintainers to fulfill.

 There are things like the crossover plugin out there, you're aware of
those, aren't you, as a webmaster.

 Go to <http://www.gnu.org/>, or any other website that uses content
negotiation.

 So you want us to remove a helpful feature because of some browser that
doesn't do the sensible thing? Sorry, the thing doesn't work that way.

 No, it can't. Images are a real handicap for disabled persons, and
won't work on textmode browsers, which are also quite popular amongst
our users.

 So long,

P.S.: All the answers you've received so far (as I can see, including
   this) were sent by translators and not by members of the webmaster
   team. Although those are the ones with the "power" to force such a
   change they usually look for a consensus on this list. HTH.
