More details : 
The value send by the form for keygen under Firefox is "2048 (High Grade)"
instead of "" when Cancel clicked...
That's why my progs doesn't detect that user click on Cancel.

In Mozilla 1.4 we have "" in the form for keygen value.

Can you change this and don't write the encryption level in keygen value when
user cancel his action ?
