Re: Firefox 3 honors Windows Security Zones...
Semantics are very important when discussing computers and software. I am not being nitpicky with you. When I was working and I went to a customers house I bet I spent more time trying to figure out what they were talking about vs time spent fixing their computer.

Just put this in the user.js in your Profile Folder and it will disable the spellchecker. Restart Fx when done. You will have to create the user.js file.
user_pref("layout.spellcheckDefault", 0);

I did not say that Fx could not run on Virtual Machine they will run but oft times in Fx you lose some functionality. You have seen this yourself.
Look at a software package and it will say something like this:
Works with:
Win95
WinXP
Vista
Hypothetically if also were to say a virtual drive then I know the developer has tested it fully in this environment. I have nothing against a virtual install I run some games from a virtual drive so I do not have to swap out discs but there are a couple that refused to work right.

IE allowing something to run is not inherently dangerous. It is the user that is dangerous much of the time by not paying attention to what they are doing or blowing through things clicking away not paying attention. You know you can have IE set to download and notify when done but it will not run the program without user intervention and can even be notified before the download begins. It is all about knowing what you (not you in particular) are doing and how your setting up IE.
In all these years I have had zero issue downloading in IE or having something Run without me initiating it. A good AV is going to catch anything or it is supposed to.
