> First of all, regarding FlashGot, thanks for a great extension while it lasted. I say this as I am not about to pay again for use of your extension to work with DAP, which I paid for (both v 5 and v 7) seeing as it now has limited support for Fx browsers natively anyway. However, I must say that your implementation of the extension is superb, and I highly believe that the Fx dev team should take some lessons from your extension in developing Fx 1.x

> 1) In the FlashGot section of your web page, Navigating to "Features" and the 'Download Managers' section sows the blurb you have made regarding DAP users, but the link is incorrect - you point to FAQ 3_5 whereas is should be pointing to 5_3.

> 2) This is probably simply an oversight, but on the main page for IA, under open source, I am shocked to see that there is no mention of No Script - although, as I mentioned this is probably an oversight, or else you simply haven;t had time to add it in to the main page as you have been actively developing it....;-0

> Regarding No Script, as I commented in the MZ thread, thank you thank you thank you for enabling this on-the-fly use of JavaScript. I have benefited much from it and am quite happy that you are *actively* developing it.

> Regarding your blog about you, I have to commend you on your English - being an Indian (born and raised in the US but with a very strong educational background) and living in the US, I shudder at times when I hear people around me talking, or read their writing, and in general it scares me that the lack of education in the US is proliferating at an alarming rate. However, your English was damn near perfect, including the use of some slang, and I say Kudos to you - you have absolutely *nothing* to apologize for.

1) Any chance of a temporary allowing of JavaScript (a one time shot) / Session enabled? I like the idea of enabling JS on-the-fly, but to prevent problems from DNS poisoning / URL spoofing / domain name pirating I think a per-session setting would be wonderful....

> 2) Any chance for configurability regarding the sounds that are used / colors that are used when placing the JS warning at the top of the page? the color scheme I am using is a very dark one, and it does not go well with the dark red coloring of the warning (you can visit the following link, but I warn you - the file is large, as I run 1600 X 1200 resolution....
