Well, it actually did say "Document not found" when I clicked on it in your post. But I eventually did get it to work.

But, yes, I was still just 'joshin'!

Sounds like the rumor and it's spread is made in Microsoft. I call serious BS on "unfixable" exploits. Everything is fixable given enough time and effort, except perhaps the next version of Microsoft's OS.

I was right. It's total BS. It was a prank.

Just interested... Do you set 'noscript' to allow FR to run JS? I don't because I don't trust troll posted html.

There, amid the presumed innuendo, new Mozilla security chief Window Snyder -- a former @stake researcher recently hired away from Microsoft -- reportedly took seriously a video of the exploit shown at the conference

The dude's first name is Window???? What? Were his parents some sort of Micro-hippies or something?

Window Snyder -- a former @stake

Interesting. @stake merged with L0pht Heavy Industries, a hacker group. I wonder whether she (yes, she) comes from the @stake or L0pht side.

FR doesn't use Javascript (at least, not that I've ever seen--this is a pretty basic site design) so no, I don't allow FR Javascript.
