  i'm trusting the developers of the browser just like
everyone else who uses it.

  javascript has always been an issue, i don't see that
changing.  if you are paranoid about that kind of access
then the OS does let you set things up to be doubly sure
(different users and groups) and there are even security
protocols that go even further.  i don't bother with 
them.

  Debian itself is also another web of trust that us 
users rely upon.  i consider it similar enough to what 
happens at firefox devs that i don't really worry about
it.
