Subject:Killing talkback.
Group:Mozilla-general
From:john

I have been using Firefox on my Linux Slack 10.1 system for some months
now. All of a sudden a window purporting to be from talkback popped up
and I couldn't get rid of it. The usual kill procedures didn't work.
The cancel button was grayed out.

I went to the firefox directory in /usr/lib and found the subdirectory
with talkback and deleted it. Then I went thorugh the pages of the
popup unil I found one that allowed me to disable it. I really didn't
want to do that becuse it could have been an exploit by a bad guy.

I am hoping that my system hasn't been compromised. I repeat, I did
nothing to ask for the talkback window. It just appeared.

Are there any other security measures I need to take? Are there
exploits that masquerade as a talkback window?

The whole thing smacks of MS-style big-brotherism. I have Firefox 1.5
