There’s an interesting story on reddit today that talks about the rotund ninja star character that does cool stuff like reverse text direction. The reddit story links to this post, where an enlightened commenter points us to Wikipedia. I still feel all but enlightened. Can anyone comment on this?

I’d also like to know who that character shows up in reddit after the URL. Reddit is busted.

I appreciate the security enhancements that NoScript offers for Firefox, but with the tight update schedule (an update is pushed through often several times a week), the “update” page that is shown every time gets kind of tiresome. I did some quick googling, and couldn’t find a solution. I finally did find the answer buried in the NoScript FAQ. Just type about:config in the location bar, then type noscript.first in the filter to bring up the noscript.firstRunRedirection preference. Double-click it to change it to false. I hope it helps someone.

Q: I don’t like NoScript redirecting the browser on its welcome page every time I upgrade it. Is there any way to prevent this?
A: First time you install NoScript and every time you upgrade it to a newer major version, Firefox opens an additional tab containing the NoScript welcome page, where you can read the release notes, announcements and an explanation of the most important NoScript features. If you’re a power user and you feel you don’t need such heads up, you can disable this feature by opening about:config (just like it was a normal web address) and toggling off the noscript.firstRunRedirection preference.
