That was uncalled for, and I apologize to the firefox developers. They are doing good things in a global software ecosystem which places little value on standards compliance, complexity management, backwards compatability, or rigor. They are competing with M$ eructations that are fast because they skip the code checks. In such a dangerous environment, survival can depend on abandoning the old and the weak, and not looking back. Perhaps I need another piece of code which automatically holds any email sent after midnight until I've confirmed it 8 hours later. That would help with sleep-deprived oropedal insertion, and might be helpful for security, too.
