If you point Mozilla to a .xul file (intentionally or not) then someone else gains some measure of control over your browser. This is a security issue. It's not a trivial one. (I'm not sure about Netscape 6.2, though. It would make sense to dis-allow viewing XUL files in a user-targeted Mozilla-derivative. Did they? Anyone know?) The thing is, I'm sure IE has security issues too, and IE running under Windows must have security issues - the same ones as windows itself. So why do they allow you to access .NET using IE? -Emlyn
