Can't embed YouTube in TB 3.1.4

[Larry Gusaas]

Using MacBook with OS 10.6.4 and Thunderbird 3.1.4.

Copying embed code from a YouTube video and paste into "Insert/HTML" then clicking on "Insert" fails to
insert any code into message. This worked in previous versions of Thunderbird.

Due to a Firefox security bug, Iframe,embed,and marquee tags are no longer on the core editor whitelist.
So Insert>>html simply ignores those tags.
You can still use EditHtml extension to embed.
The bug has been marked "tb3 needs" for a fix by a top TB dev.
In my way of thinking, Firefox core should not be able to determine what TB can or can't do.
