Firefox 3 Follows IE7's Security Settings.

Firefox 3 users, who also have jacked up the security settings on Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 to their most paranoid level, may find it trickier to download files with Firefox due to key changes recently made by Mozilla.

Interesting. It sounds like with version 3, the Firefox developers are wanting to better integrate with the OSes on which it runs.

On Windows (XP and later, at least), Firefox 3 honors the Windows Internet Options security settings.

On Linux, Firefox 3 now uses D-Bus messages (our Network Manager on Ubuntu discussion).

I wonder what integration oriented changes were made for OS X.

Thanks for the link to the article!

What if you remove Internet Explorer 7? I don't see why it has too be there at all...

Since those security settings are in the "Internet Options" control panel, I believe the issue will still exist even if IE7 has been removed.

Peace...
