as it now stands with firefox 38.7.0, bug is still there.

because of what is happening, it _is_ the add-on.

checked mozilla site to see who author is. he is a mozilla program
developer. which does not surprise me.

after giving much thought to bug and what could result, i am sending
notice to RHEL, mozilla and CVE.

if bug is not fixed within a very few days, i just might inform some
of the computer news people and just for fun of it, Homeland Security.

why Homeland Security? simple, there are most likely a lot of .gov
officials using firefox on their oos computers. and we all know how
easy it is to get into oos. ((GBWG))
