I guess so. But this rules you out as Mozilla's target "average user" so it doesn't really help. All of us here are in the same boat - probably not ideal target users as we are probably sophisticated enough to avoid phishing and the like without resort to noddy toolbars. Which leads me to wonder aloud whether there is much point in Mozilla deciding that its target user should be the average user. Practically speaking, it seems much too tough a target to protect these people; we can't as a community even understand them, and we are forever making statements that amount to denial of their right to exist. iang -- Advances in Financial Cryptography: https://www.financialcryptography.com/mt/archives/000458.html _______________________________________________ Mozilla-security mailing list Mozilla-security@mozilla.org http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-security
