Hah. It's pretty awesome to hear that from a Firefox dev.
I look back at it and wonder... what was the point? I think I was just having fun. I even went as far as having two "patches", where the first one made the software work but without the second one, it would send your VM and browser into a death loop after about 30 seconds. It was just the right amount of time to cause an SWF decompiler on Windows to crash the whole system. Anyone who wanted it badly enough would have gotten it, and I doubt anyone ever put in the effort to hit that spiral, so I must have just been entertaining myself ;)
