Well, that does it, I’m switching to IE.

opera was my browser of choice until I tried FF. I may go back as either were good once setup to your preference.

I don't have to worry about all that - I only use Lynx.

I am digging Chrome. Of course I still have to use IE and/or FF for certain websites.

Isn’t this the whole point of installing NoScript?

From my link above:
If you're running NoScript in FF 3.5, is that enough? Posted by: WashingtonDame | July 14, 2009 12:20 PM | Report abuse
It is possible that noscript would protect against this vulnerability. But then again, we all know you have to enable Javascript on some sites, otherwise they won't work. If that site you trust to run JS is hacked, it's game over.
I'm not trying to say the sky is falling, here, because I'm not aware of any sites using this vulnerability yet. Just trying to answer your question.

I'd say that >95% of the sites I visit are sites where I do not allow scripting to run. If they hack my bank I'm in serious trouble. :) At least I know that I'm protected from new links that I may want to peek at.

An unpatched memory corruption flaw in the latest version of Firefox creates a means for hackers to drop malware onto vulnerable systems.So, is Linux a 'vulnerable system'?
