Anders, The user has made a decision and we're helping him with it. I don't find your sniping helpful in any way. I am aware that you have proposed alternative technologies to many of those used in Firefox, and I imagine that you're frustrated that the major browsers are not excitedly switching to those alternatives, but please don't take it out on us. Please refrain from further sniping in this mailing list and newsgroup. Constructive contributions are welcome. In answer to your question: Yes, the Linux Software Base now includes NSS. Numerous products use it, including Google's Chrome and Adobe's Flash Player. -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
