That works for the location bar. For the search bar you can add a Mycroft search plug-in: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=google+ssl and demote/delete the built-in google search plug-in. I guess this is the non-hacker / lazy-ass method:).

Exactly my thoughts.
There are very old open bugs regarding (lack of) speed, crashes, hangs, standards compliance in mozilla.bugzilla.org.
An examle: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=915 Filed on September 1998.
Finally, Mozilla developers have acknowledged there really is a problem:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490122
Apparently, these micro-pauses are related to garbage collection, cycle collection and other synchronous I/O activity.
The folks at Mozilla are working on garbage collection and I/O improvements. This should help with the micro-pauses.
Yo! I discovered that the patch left some systems still vulnerable:
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/886582
"Note: The installer for Java 1.6.0_20 may not correctly update all instances of the Java Deployment Toolkit plugin. In some cases, the plugin that resides in the \bin\new_plugin directory may not be updated to the fixed 6.0.200.2 version of npdeployJava1.dll. If the new_plugin directory contains npdeploytk.dll version 6.0.190.4 or earlier, then browsers that use plug-ins, such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, may still be vulnerable. To correct this situation, delete the vulnerable npdeploytk.dll from the new_plugin directory and replace it with the npdeployJava1.dll version from the bin directory.
Please note that the Java Development Toolkit can be installed in multiple browsers, therefore workarounds need to be applied to all browsers with the Java Development Toolkit."
I installed the new JRE and then tried the PoC http://3.ly/qht4 . Sometimes I get an error message as shown in the article, but most times the calculator pops up.
I'm using XP SP3 & PaleMoon 3.6.3 browser.

They are working on it. Seriously. Google image search, video search, etc with SSL coming soon to an internet near you.

Gecko 1.9.3 corresponds to Firefox 3.7 (now rebranded 4).

Yes. Science has spoken. :)
I see what you did there.

Won't somebody think of the stellar children?
Indeed. Spanish teenagers already pulled-off the balloon + camera trick on March 2009 for much less money than an iPad.
