Maybe we can steal some code from this plugin: https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/profileswitcher-en.html it's under GPLv3 (source is in the .xpi) and as far as I have tested, it doesn't have the bug you described. So we could still provide a Firefox-Profile (which isn't used by default) but also ask (in the install wizard) to install the plugin. We alter it's behaviour in such a way, that it simply provides a "Browse Freenet" button or menu item which then loads our custom profile. The advantage would be, that the user has to opt-in and that while he's in the browser he can easily browse Freenet (no need to switch through start menus). -- Follow the blue rabbit - The Freenet Project - http://freenetproject.org/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
