This is certainly a problem. The more significant issue (and I believe it's been raised multiple times on this list) is that all-too-common security warnings are not effective at all because users tend to increase their productivity by blinding clicking away warnings. Even Emacs' yes-or-no-p quickly becomes equivalent to y-or-n-p, at least in my experience. _______________________________________________ Mozilla-security mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-security
