I don't have FireFox at work, where I am now, but when I get home I am going to give this a try.
Thing is, the more popular FF becomes, the more vulnerable it wil be to hackers. Hopefully Mozilla will be more proactive with the patches than Microsoft has been.

If he published actual exploit instructions, yeah. I think that's irresponsible.

thanks swc Come on, this could be interesting!
We all know there are going to be occasional flaws in FireFox, so there's really no reason to gloat.

Yeah, it triggers when viewing the page... so you don't have to click the link. Didn't want to crash people w/o warning so I pulled the comment.
To: Bush2000
Funny you seem to be masturbatory in celebratory post here. In fact the article you posted has a direct link to the exploit...

Didn't want to crash people w/o warning so I pulled the comment. Probably a good idea. I'm going to try this later ... thanks for the tip.

Come on, this could be interesting! No its going to be annoying, thanks.. I might as well post the tripe list now because he will hit every point on it. Some people get joy out of trolling and some out of watching flame wars that trolls start. People who want to discuss things are neither of the above.
We all know there are going to be occasional flaws in FireFox, so there's really no reason to gloat.
And yet I fully expect him to do just that...
