Accessing this site from the above URL presents an XPI popup dialog box to
install a free plugin. While it remains true that the user must OK this
installation, nevertheless this could be a major security issue and a "what if"
situation. Not good IHMO !!
Jay: What change in Firefox are you suggesting?  Bug 238684?
