I have made a cursory examination of the file HideCaptions.js, which contains the executable code for this extension. I do not feel that I am at any risk from this extension in its current state. I would feel more comfortable if I their was some sort of contact information for the author or a website devoted to it, but many people have legitimate reasons for not including contact information, like protecting their privacy and time. I think the person who did this extension has a high skill level in both Firefox and in programming. Dear F

I have a question: How much is a risk it to install an experimental add-on like "hide caption"? I keep it working but I am a little bit afraid of this add-on to contain any kind of spyware, since I am a firefox new user. Hi there.

I posted this about browsing on a Home Theater PC http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.platforms.mobile/browse_thread/thread/2f33a88112f60910/d96e39478dafffc6#d96e39478dafffc6. If I could take the minimal FOX and make the Awesome Bar 30 to 40 pts high and set the default Zoom level to persist across pages, I think I would be done. I asked a couple of themers about doing this, with no luck. The techniques used in Minimal Firefox certainly look easier to start with than customizing \mozilla\browser\base\content\browser.xul Thanks for this.
