Regrettably, it is. Firefox is now more about: * "users are too stupid to read" * "let's not have any buttons so user's don't click one they shouldn't" * "features confuse user, it's better to remove them/hide them". The only plus side, is that standard-complaint browsers with market share this way (a plus for web developers and standard-compliance). I remember firefox sync used to have an encryption passphrase for syncing data. Now that's gone, and users are motivated to PRINT an auto-generated one, because "they can't remember the one that they set", and "printing it is the safest way to make sure they don't loose it". Of course, if you CAN remember passphrases, you can't set your own any more. This stuff is happening all the time with firefox, and I hope some OpenBSD-like developers branch firefox some day. "A browser for people who can read" would be a great slogan. -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera
