Let's say I rip out this security from Firefox and compile a Firefox version specially for you. You start using it. Everybody starts using it. You visit one of my websites and through some slick, hidden HTML I decide that you should upload your Filezilla profile to my website. Your browser, without this security, uploads the asked file to me. I now have a copy of all your FTP passwords.
