Have asked the author, who said (in 2 replies): "Modifications to extensions.checkCompatibility certainly aren't required any more. I guess the question concerns extensions.checkUpdateSecurity. In the first versions of the XPI, I didn't include a SHA1 hash (which I think caused installation issues for FF3). The recent versions of the XPI (including 1.6) include the SHA1 hash... so on reflection perhaps the query is right. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkUpdateSecurity But I'll retest on FF3. Thanks for the tip. Pete. " and: "Just tested it Mike, (see pic in test). If you don't disable the FF3 option for update security, the add on is disabled. If FF3 and/or Phorm ever launches I'll think over my options. Dephormation was never meant to be a long term solution, or a prop for Phorm, or particularly wise security measure. Just enough to demonstrate the idiocy of Phorms cookie opt out to ISPs and their customers, and if necessary buy a little time (for me at least) to move to a new ISP. If your contact is relying on Dephormation for security/privacy they might be better doing the same perhaps? Pete. (own view, own opinion). " Hope that makes some sort of sense to you! Well OT now for this list, I think! Sorry all. Heads up about Phorm-like systems though - it's not the only snake in the pit apparently. -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
