| 273268 | 2004-09-17 11:14:00 | Was just looking at Tools/options/advanced on Firefox and the box labelled "Allow websites to install software" is ticked. This seems to be the default option. This seems to my untutored eye to be dangerous - or is it that you will be asked if this is ok ? Misty ?:| |

| 273270 | 2004-09-17 23:28:00 | Firefox should still pop up a dialog box confirming you want to install software like extensions for firefox. All this option does is stop websites installing software all together | enceladus (6088) | ||
| 273271 | 2004-09-17 23:29:00 | So it should say: "Prompt me to install software, or disable installation entirely"?! |
