    Your belief this is the case demonstrates yours.  Let me put a
non-to-blunt end to this.  You're getting your knickers in a twist because
Firefox is using a specific external library to get things done.  Meanwhile
you have no problems with the following external libraries in FF2.0 which you
feel is more secure because it doesn't depend on the one library you have it
in for.
