Yes, I was also wondering about what the "security risk" could be.

As a non-programmer I would think there are 2 possible outcomes if you 
click on a Gopher link;

- the OS complains that it does not know what to do with it (most likely 
event)
- the Gopher site opens in the default gopher client.

What I do appreciate is that person who closed it tiik the time to 
look-up and refer to older bugs about Gopher, about the removal of 
gopher from Firefox, what is interesting reading.
