Need a way to allow users to more easily launch executables that they find on the web. Need to talk to MStoltz and UE to find out what the UI should be for this. Estimated 4 days.

*** Bug 113900 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
removing nsbeta1+ keyword, as that can only be added by triage team, and is not needed for enhancements. Clarifying summary, the need is for the ability to easily launch, not automatically. This work may be needed as part of improving the plugin finder experience, but on its own it is lower priority, and we don't yet have time for it. ->mozilla1.0.1/helpwanted.

This targetted for M101. Should we remove it from blocking Bug 102472, since its current target is outside the dev window for the next release?
sure, removing

So how does this differ from bug 91969 exactly? Should that depend on this one?
Depends on: launchexe

It needs more security. Use with launch Antivirus-scanner first before execute files. But it's not for local files.

WOO-HOO! This bug WAS target at 1.0.1......Well 1.2 is out now, could we get this enabled already? Seriously, why should I have to go outside mozilla and hunt and peck to open something that I download. Anyway, would be nice to turn this on.
