There is a very big flaw in Firefox that i have posted in there forum. Remember, when you draw a lot of attention to yourself (like mozilla did in the last year with there 10,000,000 downloads) people will try to punch holes your software just to be a d*ck and prove a point.

I'll take you on those offers.

1. Post the place which will plant something via firefox. I'm calling you on this one partially because I know that M$ tends to brainwash their people, and partially because I'd like to see for myself if its true.

2. "Very big flaw"? I read all the IT stuff, from /. to Sharktank. I must confess that I haven't heard of it. I know that there was one last July that was quickly patched; ironically, that was during the M$ Partner Conference, and it was mentioned in every sales session! Again, I'm calling you on this one because I'm not sure if you just have drunk too much M$ koolaid, or if its really true.

Oh sure, as it becomes more popular it will be targeted more. No doubt about that. I doubt it will be as much as Microsoft because, frankly, a lot of those d*cks have a bug up their a** for Microsoft that they won't have for Mozilla. There will be more though.

That said, I have to go with my experiences with the two browsers. I won't use IE6 any more. There have been many recommendations that users use any other browser. I just have to agree with those warnings.
