> Well, the way I use the slider in the high position is as a default
state. I frequently temporarily allow many sites via NoScript, and
sometimes if a site needs to perform many redirects, I globally enable
script permissions for a bit, and then disable them later. I think it is
this global script enable that is causing my slider to get stuck in the
"Custom" position.

> 1. I think that the slider should recognize that when I globally disable
scripts again, "Custom" should become unchecked. Really, I think this
should be the case for all of our prefs, but globally enabling/disabling
JS is facilitated by our NoScript UI (for good reason) and may be common.
> 1. I think the slider shouldn't actually become locked if "Custom" is
set. I should be able to drag it and go back to one of the official
positions, which would uncheck "Custom" and reset all the prefs
appropriately.
Okay, bug_9387_13998 in my Torbutton repo has the fix for both of your
issues while still taking my concerns into account. An updated Mozmill
test for it is needed and coming.
