Yeah, and away I run screaming again. In SeaMonkey I can get by-site
specificity with one click and a little mouse dancing. With Firefox
(out of the box) I have tedious numbers of mouse clicks and a new
window (that then has to be closed) just to get to the *general*
settings, another button leading me to an exceptions window (that then
has to be closed). That is terrible. You see, I keep assuming that
someone has made a plugin that puts that kind of sane control back
into a dropdown or something where it's convenient. And I keep not
finding it.
Am I *really* the only one that misses that?
