Well, isn't that a bit overreacting? You're jeopardizing your security
for something as simple as a busy cursor. Let's compare:

a) 2.7.x: exposed to 8 security issues only fixed in SM 2.8:

b) 2.8: busy cursor (wallpaper fix: toggle ui.use_activity_cursor in
about:config).

In SM 2.7.2 I have in about:config set 'ui.use_activity_cursor' to false

After that I upgraded to SM 2.8 and no busy wait cursor in the
newsgroups anymore. So thanks for this workaround.

This solution was posted before in:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727414

But that appeared today, before I uninstalled SM 2.8 yesterday night.
So I did not know this solution. Don't visit bugzilla every day....

Over the last couple of days, I have experienced the above cursor icon problem (no big problem for me), but tonight I do not have the problem, and I have not reverted to SM 2.7.2 or modified about:config!!

It's just magic!!

Aren't computers a wonderful thing??
