Re: Firefox 3 honors Windows Security Zones... Oh, right. That thing. For some reason, I was thinking it was an actual toolbar or something. Opera 9.5 does the same thing. I find it useful on rare occasions but annoying most of the time. I'd want a way to quickly (read: not involving about:config) turn it on and off. Maybe even have it only behave that way if I typed words, rather than an address.
Thankfully my primary browser, SeaMonkey, doesn't bug me with such things.

I do not support the use of ADS at all. I think with introducing those ADS'a in SP2 m$ has actually opened Pandora's box. ADS's may be very easily misused. I hope we realize that, for example, under the Notepad.exe name a smart guy may hide folders and folders of any files (creating actually a whole new FS). And with current state of public knowledge and tools to find and work with ADS's - it's obvious to me that it's a dangerous thing that just wait to show its ugly head...
I try to keep amount of ADS's on my NTFS at minimum level. I do not allow IE to create ADS's on my downloaded files. I know, that I've downloaded them. And I do not need any reminder about that. There are probably a few files that currently have ADS's on my HD. And I watch it carefully.
That's why I think this tendency of Mozilla to embrace this move towards spreading ADS's in not the right thing for computer security. But, of cause, they may don't care...
