I also agree that each poster in our newsgroups represents > a constituency (100x may or may not be right, let's say it is). I just found out what tabs ! on top was (I wouldn't call it bottom myself) and can't believe the fuss about this. OTOH it would be really cool if fireox UI was as controllable as Opera's. I love Opera's ability to put many control settings anywhere, be it top or actually on the bottom bar, things like plugins, javascript or cookies enabled toggles. Cookie management could do with some work on all browsers. The combo for mobile firefox of noscript becoming incompatible and now beta again and removing the javascript toggle from the menu must have had a severe security impact and made good security advice to users od limiting js to what is necessary, now have no chance of being followed. Extensions to toggle these pose their own risks so unless they are released and verifiable as mozillas then those could even be worse. _______________________________________________ dev-security mailing list dev-security@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security
