Users should be treated like adults by default

By default, Firefox loads Javascript from any site. The Pegasus Trojan was transmitted by hijacking 2G and 3G network connections, and using malicious HTTP redirects that wouldnt work with HTTPS.

They are zero-click, meaning just opening that site would run the code.

it just always reports win 10

It reports to be Firefox ESR on Windows 10. Maybe Windows 11 now.
