I want safe mode to be closed to the average person. If one must enter a password to get into safe mode, that will work. Changing the source code of firefox is an extreme option that will make it harder to upgrade when new releases come out. Is there any standard way to protect against safe mode abuse? Procon Latte is a popular plugin I suspect, but what's the point of it if anyone behind it can pop into safe mode and remove it? I am surprised that the author of Procon Latte hasn't addressed the safe mode abuse issue. Ideally, the developers who are going to release the next version of firefox should address the safe mode abuse issue. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
