Oh, great, I just started using Firefox.

I dumped AOL (and in response, my bank and I are battling it out, because AOL kept charging my closed bank account, and the bank kept paying!!!!!), and the other browser I tried kept refusing to open certain pages. I have no idea what's the best browser, but this one seems to work ok.

This is absolutely ancient and fixed long ago

I warned all the anti-Microsoft people a long time ago not to gloat too much over Internet Explorer's flaws because the same will happen to FireFox.

The more people use it, the more vulnerabilities will be revealed.  Pure common sense.

Ummm.... The article you posted is from May. That's like seven months ago. In case you missed it, Mozilla fixed this almost immediately. (As opposed to myriads of IE flaws that MS knows about but takes years to fix...)

Maybe some attention to date would be in order, since this certainly is not 'breaking' news!

Because Firefox has no auto-update function, there are lots of people still using older versions. This security problem will be real if the Microsoft hating virus writers divert their hate for a few seconds.

Of course, that will not happen.

You might want to consider moving this from 'latest news' since it is from May, and is no longer an issue...

I'll just switch back to my Firebird 0.7 version. That should be safe.
