I've installed the new Trustbar on Firefox 1.06 on FreeBSD.

Unfortunately it doesn't work so well, the menu buttons
don't seem to do anything and no change is seen going from
site to site.  But the Hey! button works, or at least I
was able to get the Hey Options up.

I'm on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, using Firefox 1.0.6.  The BSDs
are often the last platforms to get user stuff going...



The attack trainer looks really interesting.  I'd suggest
changing the Options to this:

    The goals of 'Hey!' are to train you in detecting attacks,
    and to collect statistics to improve Trustbar.

    'Hey!' simulates attacks randomly and observes your
    response.  Your response is reported back to you to
    help you for the next attack, and also reported back
    to us, the Trustbar developers, to help us improve the
    product.

    The simulated attacks initiated by 'Hey!' spoof the
    URL in unprotected sites.  In protected sites, 'Hey!'
    spoofs the URL and the validation of the CA.

    Trustbar activates 'Hey!' just for sites that you have
    changed    the name and/or logo for.  You can turn off
    'Hey!' HERE/HOW...
