Want to help me? Don't help me

My like-it-a-lot affair with Firefox is shaky today.

Mozilla's all about safety online, which is great.

But ... today, after yet another update, Firefox blocked Adobe Flash from running on a website I visit several times a day. I appreciate that it alerted me, and that it had a button to turn off the block.

Starting a few days ago, Firefox began posting a warning on the log-in page of a website I visit daily, saying that it's not safe — with a cute little padlock crossed out in red — and info might be stolen.

I know people who crawl all over the Web, with nasty hangovers. They need Firefox and its warnings.

But those same warnings are ticking me off.

I have places to go and things to download.

Get out of the way, Firefox.

If only Apple would turn Safari into a useful browser, I'd go back to it. How about some way to see what the browser's doing, moment by moment? How about a separate line for searches?

Safari, however, continues to be a piece of crap, compared to Firefox. Even the increasingly annoying Firefox.
