Another thing on the Knock-Knock feature that gets on my nerves is
that I'll go to bed, IM_Spammer will send me a spam-IM at 2a.m.,
initiating the knock-knock. From that point on, though, Fire doesn't
react to any future events. It's just in limbo until that knock-knock
is resolved.
So basically I wake up 4 hours later, tell it to refuse the message
and THEN a SLEW of events (logins, logouts, messages, etc. etc.) all
happen in rapid succession in the order they queued up in, usually
leading to a crash.
I suspect the crash part wouldn't happen if Fire was able to handle
those events independent of the knock-knock dialog box, and it wasn't
flooded with {x} hours worth of events :-(
