This is NOT a FF bug, it's a FORUM bug...
I have noticed that that forum tends to add spaces (blank characters) in the middle of words.
At first I thought it was just typos, but after using a spellchecker and seeing the same typos on posts fr om all users, I have come to realize it's a forum bug.
The words that most usualy get a space-treatment are LIM IT (appears as lim it) and FROM (appears fr om).
Just thought I'd let you know, maybe there's a simple fix to that  |

Seems our protection from injection attacks is too paranoid |

Yes, Is true this has happened to me sometimes also, and after posting I have seen this errors and had to go back and correct it.
This only affects some words, although I do not know which ones.

It's not paranoia if they're really after you 
I didn't know you could try to inject attack a forum... Or is the protection general to the whole website?
Ah... Who am I kidding, I have no idea what we're talking about |

I did not know either until I went to google and searched for " protection from injection attacks" There you will find some more details. It seems that is a security measure for the whole website forum and for everyone.

I know in general what an injection attack is, and no, it's not bad botox
I don't know however anything about the protection against such an attack, it's scope, scale and why words like "limit" and "from" are so dangerous, while "bomber", "alien" and "distress" are considered safe. |

You're right. I'm gonna write an English to FF dictionary so we can all understand eachoter, then we can avoid triggering any bells and whistles on the protection software.
In fact, it will probably be so usefull, I could sell it to all webmasters in the northern hemisphere, and help them defend their servers! |

I Guess that's because SELECT FR OM LIMIT INSERT UPDATE DELETE WH ERE are SQL commands  - I never expected the Spanish inquisition |
