Mention of ELFLoader was in the original !Help file with Firefox.

I've now corrected that. I used Boot: to point to a generic Boot path, just
in case anyone had changed anything, but I can see that might lead to
confusion. Thanks for commenting.

The reason it's empty is that Firefox should create a default set of
choices in the directory when it's first run. It does on the machines I've
experimented on. However, I've amended my article slightly to include a
full save of the choices, just in case it doesn't get created automatically.

You don't really need to read the initial certificate window on my article
- it was more for diagramatic purposes to show what appears. However, I've
amended this slightly and you can now click on the image to see a fullsize
version.

Anyway, this is getting *really* off topic now, so I suggest people take it
to csa.apps instead of the Iyonix list. I would but I can't see a way of
setting followups from a mail posting to a newsgroup in Pluto.
