I see hundreds to thousands of changes to firefox daily. So it is being actively maintained and developed. What you are describing was explained by Tim in another post that you agreed with. My take is that you are installing security holes on your customer's machines. You should definitely get them to sign a waiver that you are not responsible for any security breaches. I *like* that firefox is security conscious. It warns me so I know there is a threat, and then gives me the option of continuing or leaving. I have control, not some browser developer who decides for me without my knowledge. Hey, I get it. Most people, including small business people, don't care about security, as long as they get to do what they want, when they want; it's too much effort and hassle. All we have to look at is the billions in dollars that black hat hackers extract from them to know that. So, you are walking a line between staying in business and security, and if you don't stay in business, you won't have to worry about security. Easy call. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
