You missed the import of what I was saying... that a javascript pushed by a website, forced on my browser to execute on my machine is in and of itself a violation of privacy and security.
Ok, understood. In Firefox, there's a setting to disable Javascript. Switch it off. Problemsolved. No web site will be able to execute Javascript on your browser. That's what Javascript is: a script originating from a remote web site, that your browser executes.
If you believe that it's a problem you can switch it off very easily.
Furthermore, it would be incredibly shortsighted (stating it mildly) to write off such practice as safe by any measure.
That's a matter of opinion. You're entitled to it. However, if others disagree with you, and they have no issues with running Javascript code from remote web sites, they're just as entitled to their opinion as you are.
And the nice thing about Firefox, and most other browsers, is that everyone is satisfied. Those that do not wish to run Javascript from remote web sites, they can do it very easily. Those that do not see a problem with it, will keep Javascript enabled.
I sent a reply to Ed. Read that one.
I've read what you wrote. Now, why don't you just solve your problem turn off Javascript in Firefox, and move on with your life.
