... just a word to the wise that raised the hackles on the back of my
fangs.

i just visited a web site that had a flash plugin, very pretty, stole
99% cpu time so i couldn't access any other parts of the site.

right-mouse button, settings, it said "allow access to your
microphone and camera" at which point i began to freak out a bit.

fortunately the default is set to "no".

*sweetly* could someone who is familiar with the mozilla selinux policy
please double-check that the policy somehow bans access to video
and microphone unless explicity granted?

around you, funnily and coincidentally enough, life gets a lot better.
