As much as it pains me to say it, I agree. That is what is needed. This incident has shown that FF3, with its all-too-easy-to-defeat MITM reporting, is NOT suitable for high-value web transactions such as online banking. I wish (and have wished for a decade now) that Mozilla browsers WERE those browsers that were trustworthy enough to be relied upon for high value online transactions, such as online banking, but they are not. If I could find a product that was suitable, I would seek to work on it. I have little, and decreasing, desire to continue to invest in strong security for a product that discards that security for the masses, in exchange for acceptance by a very small number of people whose intense desire to be entirely self reliant causes them to insist on unverifiable security measures. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
