Did not take long for the firefox people to address the problem. Personally I would have preferred something more infunction (like a different color address bad when an IDN address was up). As I dont contribbute to the project who am I to complain, the setting is off by default and a warning is in place when you turn it on. Its about the best they could do considering that this is a protocal problem with Windows and OSX..

Time to actually address this problem about a week..

Looks like they are going to turn of IDN until at least 1.1 when they hope ot have a more perminate fix in place..

So is this Bill Gates' fault, too?

Okay, I need to download Firefox. I've put it off long enough. Where is the best and most current download at?


Thanks

Funny - the one case where Windows IE is NOT vulnerable and other browsers (including my favorite, Safari) are. I guess there are benefits to not following standards, after all.

Of course, if you don't click on those "send-me-your-bank-number-so-we-can-verify-your-account" messages, you're better off, anyway.

Is that some sort of spin or have you had your head in the sand for 6+ weeks?

about:config in the address bar to access the configuration functions

Hey, that's cool!

Just for grins, I tried the about:config command in my Netscape browser. I found the network.enableIDN setting and set it to false just to see what happens to my browsing experience.

I was very intrigued by the following setting:

privacy.popups.default_whitelist default string
aol.com,bankofamerica.com,carsdirect.com,cnn.com,compuserve.com,digitalcity.com,ea.com,mapquest.com,match.com,netscape.com

Look at some of the names in that list! BoA, CNN, carsdirect, match.com, etc.

What do you find in firefox and mozilla???
