I was not a participant in the discussion quoted above, but I *am* feeling my finger joints get stiffer and my hand muscles get weaker. To me, the physical effort involved in drawing a perfect horizontal line causes LESS ache than the physical effort involved in clicking the button. [I use a large-diameter trackball instead of a mouse -- it seems inefficient for me to have to move (using my *large* muscles) my entire hand just in order to move a *tiny* crosshair on my screen.] >> relief not having to click 10 million times just to get one >> simple task done.

Surely there are other personal preferences that are also not provided for. I disagree that providing a user-interface checkbox for *this* preference should be a priority for the people doing the Mozilla port. mikus
