What you've posted is very misleading. They didn't "hear something
about javascript could be dangerous", they know what javascript can and
can't do. And they spent (wasted, IMO) a *lot* more than ten minutes
working on the problem before giving up on it.
Mozilla Messaging inherited a lot of stuff from previous
Mozilla Suite and Thunderbird developers, including a security model
which hadn't been maintained for years and was no longer usable.
The options were to spend a lot of time and effort to design and
implement a new security model or to take out javascript. They started
down the first road only to realize it was a lot more time and effort
than anticipated.
