subject: Re: Firefox JavaScript security `a complete mess`?

From: "Dave Ings" 

If we're going to have an intelligent discussion here :-) we're going to
have to carefully differentiate between JavaScript downloaded and hosted by
the browser and (if any) JavaScript used internally to the browser. (Since
I'm not familiar with Firefox internals, I don't know how much if any of
the latter there is.)
