Change Browser settings by script
You can read about it here - http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/signed-scripts.html#privs
Also example available here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/signed-script-example.html
Browsers let extensions to interact with their core to certain level, but that's about it. You can read about Mozilla and Chrome extensions and see they interact with the browser through JavaScript, but this is only inside extensions, signed scripts and scripts located on user's hard drives.

Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die, is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked, there is no reason not to follow your heart. -- Steve Jobs

Afaik, you can change/manipulate browser settings in Mozilla/Netscape browsers. For Instance "netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('someprivilege');"
Of course the user gets informed about that and needs to verify the action.
My question is, do other browser have similar functionality? IE, Safari/Chrome ?
Kind Regards
