me too - 'cept mine came from a PC techie when they installed a new SNA stack from Attachmate from non original media (diskettes). Not only me, but an entire M&A DD team, which included the COO of a major financial institution. |

I got a virus infecting machines I was setting up for an employer from a distribution archive from a software vendor intended to implement communications between PC workstations and Unix hosts. (I was the *nix admin for my shop, and attempting to provide access for folks that needed it.) I wound up bailing on and removing that "solution". Access was via a terminal emulator and ftp.
I started out on IBM mainframes before moving across and down, but was spared dealing with SNA.
Thanks!
I've used Piro's work before. I ran Netscape 7 and then the Mozilla Suite before moving to Firefox, and his work was quite useful in what later became SeaMonkey. I'll look at the stuff you mention.
EDIT:
And I just looked at Piro's stuff. He does good work, but it won't help in the problem under discussion.
He works in XUL. Firefox 57 uses a brand new rendering engine called Quantum, and XUL no longer
exists. His extensions don't work in FF 57.
I already have extensions in FF ESR that implement what I'm looking to replace, like Tab Mix Plus.
