zero-erroron Flickr: Invitations disclosure (resend feature)

Regarding your second suggestion, how would allowing only POST requests stop this from being exploited?

POST requests aren't any more secure than GETs[0] in the context of this exploit, so surely it would make no difference if the attacker was forced to send one type instead of another?

It would also mean that the intended recipients of the Flickr invites would be unable to accept them because you can't POST via links in emails.

zero-erroron Things I learned by pretending to be blind for a week (2013)

Have you tried using zoom, instead of changing the minimum font size? It would be reset for every different site you visit (at least on FF, not sure about other browsers) but from my experience scaling the whole site up instead of just the text doesn't break websites as much.

Works fine for me.

Just out of interest, where have you found these performance issues?

The only thing I've noticed was that it really struggled to scroll down large pages whilst playing a video in another window/tab. Although that quickly fixed itself when I updated my graphics card drivers (completely forgot to do so after installing Ubuntu).

Up until a couple of weeks ago I was a loyal Chrome advocate. However after the Mozilla team's recent AMA on reddit I decided to switch and since then I really haven't found Firefox inferior at all (aside from a couple of examples like this). So for anyone else looking to make the switch, go for it! The only thing I'm missing about Chrome are the excellent dev tools.
