This is due to time constraints. It's much harder to implement in B2Gs security model since we essentially don't have any chrome JS code running other than what's part of gecko. In fact, we don't have any chrome code which displays UI at all. > Hackability is one of Mozilla's core software strengths. I agree. Though it's a bit trickier also since we want to make it hard to brick your device. With desktop Firefox you can at worst case blow away your profile. But if your phone isn't starting most people would be in trouble. But I agree this is something that we should try to figure out. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
