They continually fail to get the point; it's not about security.
People don't want a password for security; they simply want the
user to know which profile they've selected.
Mozilla/N6's drop down menu is simply inadequate for the home
user. It's too easy to simply click and go into someone else's
profile, and wonder what the heck happened to all your
bookmarks, and why is it set back to THIS skin?
Few, if any, home Windows users set up different windows
profiles. It's not a consideration, as most of the programs
they use don't require seperate user settings. The average home
user doesn't need a seperate Word profile, or a different
Calender Creator profile. Most home users are not even aware
that they CAN or SHOULD set up different Windows users.
And the programs that they DO need different user profiles for
have them built in: Communicator, AOL, Eudora, Quicken, Pegasus;
all have made provisions within the program itself to help users
access the data they need without accessing the data they don't.
Mozilla/Netscape 6 will NEVER gain widespread acceptance if it
does not provide the functions that users have come to expect;
and that's how it is.
So quit arguing and make it work all ready.
