Re: Full screen in Mozilla
For the moment, you can do javascript:window.fullScreen=true to see the current effect on Linux.

Re: Access to the port number given has been disabled for security reasons
If you READ the posting and paper I pointed to, you'll see that with *perfectly* *valid* URLs and HTML form value contents it it possible to carry out FTP commands using mozilla as the source of the attack. Here is a link to the CERT warning about this vulnerability: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/476267 This is a vulnerability and mozilla's is currently the best way of protecting against this. If you can come up with a better way of fixing this vulnerability that doesn't reduce mozilla's useability even more, or degrade the functionality of HTML forms then I will donate another $10 to mozillaZine.org David Illsley
Re: Access to the port number given has been disabled for security reasons
The HTML Form Protocol Attack, discussed heavily on Bugtraq (http://www.securityfocus.com/cgi-bin/archive.pl?id=1&start=2001-10-17&end=2001-10-23&threads=0&[EMAIL PROTECTED]) with details here --> http://www.remote.org/jochen/sec/hfpa/index.html is a dangerous attack, and there is no easy way for mozilla to counter it other than to block potentially dangerous ports.

The file gets read in at start up and re-written with programatically
changed prefs re-written when shut down. If you add your pref when moz
isn't running it will persist :-)

This question is asked ofter enough and with the growing popularity of ZoneAlarm et al will be asked more often, shouldn't this be Release Noted? David

This indicates that the server is not sending an html mime type so mozilla doesn't know what to do with it. David
Re: How does "talkback" do its thing?
Talkback seems to use http. It has options to allow you to use HTTP or socks proxies. Please try to use it, it helps the bug fixing process immensely. David
