I think your ID does that job fairly well
Rest in Peace, Steve. You were a visionary and a true inspiration to many of us. You accomplished more in life than most of us could do in 10. Your legacy and story will live forever. For me, there's no greater honor than that.
Thank you for everything.
You can remove the signature code (it's all in the META-INF dir IIRC) and the add-on will continue to install and work. I'm not sure what happens if you change it in your profile while being installed, but I suspect it should still work.
Not that I agree with the GP on this being a good solution...
Sufficiently large corporations should know how to configure Firefox in their employees' machines so that they are not automatically updated until they decide to. For example, I know IBM is currently using 3.6 and was in the process of certifying 4.0. While the default behavior in the future will be to silently update, it shouldn't be difficult for large businesses to stay on a specific version they know they can support.
It will be a problem because only the latest versions will get security updates, though.
My understanding is that the standardization of ActiveX for secure banking in South Korea happened before SSL was well-known and widespread. Also, this was a country-wide standard, not something that was internally chosen by banks.
This is a good read if you're interested.
Have they caught up yet? A few weeks ago half my extensions didn't work so I reverted.
Most popular extensions have caught up. The Compatibility Dashboard has more details. However, we can't force all developers to update and inevitably some add-ons will lag behind or be abandoned.
I'm going back to 3.6.15, because this was an absolute letdown, and a knee-jerk release triggered by yesterday's IE9 release (in which case the browser actually IS leaner and faster).
Actually, the release date was planned well ahead of today, and it was released because there were no more blocker bugs.
