The long expected, and often dreaded, Australis user interface for Firefox will have become fact a couple weeks from now. For those of us who don't immediately jump back to the last ESR build without it, rage quit web browsing entirely, start using lynx in protest, or just say fork it, Martin Brinkmann over at Ghacks has an interesting writeup on further UI changes being proposed. The only thing I found interesting are the changes proposed for the context menu but, as always, your mileage may vary.

    If they don't retain the key, why the fuck would they need to ask you for it? Do they do an initial encryption of your user data or something?

    Read the link to see their process, they have both a graphical flow chart and a step-by-step list, it is not hard to understand.

    There goal is to have something that is nominally easier to recover from losing your key.
