Hi Scott, Aside from the description over at [1] for why it was changed to a privileged feature, I can imagine that companies making popup ads would love to make their popups take control of the browser.
I think a preferred alternative would be to otherwise block user input (keyboard, mouse clicks, etc.) in the dialog's launcher window rather than attempting to use this privileged feature. [1] - http://secunia.com/advisories/13786/ Regards, Matt On 6/19/07, Scott O'Bryan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The more I look at this the more I dislike trying to request the security. Enabling this feature in Firefox makes Firefox vulnerable to script attacks. What do others think?
