270295 - Unnecessary delay when installing plugins (*.xpi)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 245737

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When installing plugins, there is some strange 2 second delay. This is annoying
if I install many plugins at once from local disk in fresh firefox installation.

I think it will be better to have the extra yes/no confirmation instead of this
delay.

Reproducible: Always

This delay is for security reasons, see bug 236056.

With Firefox you can't change the delay, see bug 245737 comment 7. Bug 245737 is
about to use the same pref like in Seamonkey to customize the delay. You have to
confirm anyway. What you want is delay = 0. Marking as dupe.
