package: iceweasel Hi,
I've just used a freshly installed Debian lenny system for the first time and noticed that it accesses safebrowsing.clients.google.com without me doing anything, just after I started iceweasel. In http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518357#20 I can read that iceweasel-3.5.5/browser/app/profile/firefox.js has pref("browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled", true); followed by an URL (which makes the current configuration useless...) But still, this is not even documented in README.Debian, probably because it's an upstream "feature" anyway. But I still wonder what other "services" like this are enabled (I can check the configuration files but hardly the source..) and whether thats a sensible default at all. I do realise that packaging that extension seperatly (and then probably making it a recommends...) is a lot of work for only a few peoples gain, but I thought I bring it up anyway. IMO an application sending data over the network to an arbitrary third-party is buggy by design and this should be at least documented somewhere. Now it's in the BTS ;) Thank you for maintaining iceweasel! cheers, Holger
