So I went to work on 3.2.1.8 yesterday and here’s what we have so far:

1. I’ve made some of the checks I do for javascript into functions so the code run time is quicker.
2. onClick has checks to see if js is on (before the code just launched [the code still doesn't ask if you want to run it], however, this was not a security problem. Thunderbird purges links that contain onclick in emails).
3. To help reduce wasting memory, form launch checks happen earlier in the form handing code. Before, the checks would happen before you submit the form, thus causing a complete run through everytime you pressed a key or clicked something (it would fail a check before it could send).
4. extensions.tbrowse.placeBottom is now an option in the settings window. This pref allowed a user to place the URL bar at the bottom of the window, rather than at the top.
5. There is an option for GUI links (like “Get Extensions”) to open in a popup window (note: if you have mr. tech’s local install enabled, this pref will be ignored).
6. OpenURL has nicer checks.
7. The changelog has been archived even more

Also, onSubmit doesn’t work. I’ll explain why in a future post.
