Afaik, you can change/manipulate browser settings in Mozilla/Netscape browsers.
For Instance “netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege(‘someprivilege’);”
Of course the user gets informed about that and needs to verify the action.
My question is, do other browser have similar functionality? IE, Safari/Chrome ?
Kind Regards
