I haven't seen the interface you mention BUT....

I would avoid 'thorough', 'careful', 'accurate' : these three in English will
imply that they are an alternative to 'careless' or 'shoddy'.  Any and all
encryption is expected to be thorough and careful and accurate, and 'safe'.
Any exceptions that might be anticipated would be put down to human error or
(in the case of 'safe') to the greater expertise of an adversary and not to a
deliberate choice on the part of the sender.

I fear that it will be difficult to find a choice of 2 short labels for your
'convenient' and 'thorough' buttons which will be clear and not misleading.
Perhaps the 'convenient' could be labelled 'handy but with risks' and
'thorough' could be labelled 'thoughtful'.

In any case, I fear that a complementary explanation will be required in the
form of a 'help' button to explain to beginners the subtleties of the decision
making process required to chose between the two options.

I'll try your xpi file this evening - when I have a little more time.
