RE: [Esker ActiveX Plug-in] PRIVATE

>Does it depend on resolving certain known issues?

Unfortunately, we have received a negative response from a Moizilla reviewer to
our request:
He says that he needs access to our source code before leverageing from
"experimental" to "public".

I cannot blame Mozilla policy for that. I even tend to consider that letting
unknown developer upload to "experimental" is quite dangerous and I prefered the
certificate approach available in previous versions of FireFox.

But on the other hand, I don't have to authority to decide giving away our
source code since it is part of a larger comercial application.

Sorry,

Nicolas Roumiantzeff

P.S. if anybody as a suggestion regarding this security issue...

I would also like to have my users install this plugin and I agree
that distributing it through the mozilla repository is a good idea.
However, as long as it is marked as experimental, I cannot ask my
users to install it.

Is there any rough estimation to when it will cease to be
experimental? Does it depend on resolving certain known issues?

Thanks,
Leeor.
