Iceweasel crashes when attempts are made to post any message in the 
forums. It happens as soon as the javascript editor loads.

>> 2) Editing of wearable items (body parts and/or clothing objects) in 
>> the sidebar, selectable from the outfit editor
>> 3) Removal of the appearance floater
>> 4) Order-specific outfits with the ability to re-order wearables as 
>> desired
>> 5) Ability to wear multiple wearables of the same type (multiple 
>> shirts, multiple jackets and yes, multiple alpha masks!).

>> Posts for ideas that we don't have the time or resource to implement,
