driftwood Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I just was checking to see what dot version of Firefox I was using by clicking Help--> About Mozilla Firefox and there was a picture of Thaksin and the message: "Help Thaksin, help Thais fight with bureaucratic polity system. Free Thais from the hidden shadow!" It went on to list all the regular Mozilla Firefox info. I have version 3.0.5. It is from the theme I use Noia (eXtreme) , which I found out recently is authored by a Thai person. His web site is http://kasteo.deviantart.com/ I am not for or against Thaksin and I'm too confused about Thai politic to have an opinion. I was just surprised by the message and thought I would post. I can't post a screenshot for not being a board member, but if a boardmember wants to post the screenshot for me, PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldFun Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 well my 3.05 default skin version of firefox luckily does not show Thaksin - bizarre - guess they already predicted I never donate clicks on the net especially to criminals!!! anyway where does the banner click leads? http://www.buildingbetterfuture.org/ http://www.thaicomfoundation.org/indexE.aspx surprisingly no immediate way to donate to either of his known funds which also seems more like fronts than doing any active work? oh well guess he's been a bit 'busy' lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driftwood Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 You won't see it with the default skin, only if you use the Noia Theme . Some people have already complained on the review page. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/reviews/display/72 Hidden Message by brian577 on December 31, 2008 I love Noia, but I can't use it anymore because the developer has the nerve to hide a political message in the theheme under the about Firefox window. Until it's removed I'll find a different theme, one that doesn't have an agenda. by Brynhils on December 31, 2008 The hidden political message in the 'About Firefox' tab is akin to malware! I thought I was infected and have since removed this theme. Spoils an otherwise great theme! by jravac on December 31, 2008 great skin, but when clicking help, about, you get a Thai political message instead of the FF box-could this at least be labeled under Noia? i thought my browser was highjacked and spent an hour trying to figure it out. (btw, isn't Thaksin regarded as generally bad by thais?" by Mark Clements on December 30, 2008 Version 3.57 replaces the firefox "about" dialog with a Thai political message.
