I made a pull request to Librewolf that adds a handy dialog to deal with just this issue:

Warning: You are using Librewolf. Augment security posture with the appropriate countermeasures?

Yes | No | Continue | Abort | Cancel | Cancel with augmented security posture | Speak to elf



Appreciate it, though I'm worried about the UX impact of having the correct choice (speak to elf) all the way at the end...


It's in a long line of well-known security UX practices-- what better way to teach the user the right choice than by guiding them down all the other paths first?

Here, let me tab-complete my pubkey so we can continue this discussion in private:
