I've been using Firefox for some years. In recent years , when they became available, I've been using a variety of Extensions as 'security measures' - for example NoScript, AdBlock, etc. Recently there was a question raised by (?)..... concerning Adobe's Flash - and a, brief, discussion on the security problem posed by Flash ensued; this flowed on to the general question of how secure Linux/Linux distros was/were when it was mentioned that permissions could be altered by applications even within a normal user's home directory. However, this matter was not really properly answered, and not pursued further. Just a few minutes ago I was using Firefox and went to one (of many such sites) for which I have NoScript disallow javascript but, after deliberately allowing javascript for the site and its associated sites (eg, YouTube also wants you to allow javascript for ytimg.com), I can carry on and view any video-related material. OK, with YouTube, as one example, after I get to the point of clicking on the ">" to play the video, I usually also get another request from NoScript to allow "something" to be able to continue to view the video. In the past I automatically, and in an irritated state, clicked, "YES", to simply get on and view the video. But just now I had a closer look at what I had previously been simply accepting without paying any attention to it. What the last "warning" which NoScript was asking me to allow was, "Allow about:blank" - which I was always in the past auto. accepted. I know what "about:plugins" and "about:config" show when I type these in the URL window in Firefox. But "about:blank"? This time I typed in "about:blank" in the URL windows.....and got, "Search Bookmarks and History". Now, as everyone who knows me, I am not a paranoid person ("In a pig's bum I'm not!") so what is this all about?
