Details

When visiting the 'about:config' page when the warning has not been disable you would see 'This might void your warranty!'. That seems contradictory as I've always thought firefox comes with absolutely no warranty. I think the following portion of 'about:license' guarantee that. -- 8< -- 6. Disclaimer of Warranty Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is" basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose or non-infringing.
