Before I retired, I had a 41-year career in software, first programming and then testing. I developed approximately 25% of the specifications for a military software project that eventually cost about $400,000,000. I was called out of the shower (at home, getting ready for bed) to take a phone call from a satellite launch facility to explain how to use the command and control software for a space satellite that was within a hour of launch. I taught end-users about the mathematics underlying their software. I p[roved that a new software package failed to implement the customer's requirements, delaying deployment about 6 months while the package was rewritten. I do not need or want some developer who was not yet born when I started my career imposing unwanted protection on me. -- David E. Ross I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can be used when autocomplete=off.
