That was uncalled for, and I apologize to the firefox developers.
They are doing good things in a global software ecosystem which
places little value on standards compliance, complexity management,
backwards compatability, or rigor. They are competing with M$
eructations that are fast because they skip the code checks.
In such a dangerous environment, survival can depend on
abandoning the old and the weak, and not looking back.
Perhaps I need another piece of code which automatically holds
any email sent after midnight until I've confirmed it 8 hours
later. That would help with sleep-deprived oropedal insertion,
and might be helpful for security, too.
