So much for the much touted "security" of Firefox. :)

So, how do you check whether your current firefox version is update-to-date?
I don't see a "check for updates" button or inks in the [about] or [tools] menus.

I don't know much about Firefox...
I am really slow to change from what I am use to.
I did download Firefox, but I asked my daughter about it.
She makes her living off of the internet.
She says that some web pages just do not work with Firefox
and told me I should not use it for now.

Actually, IIRC, this issue is serveral months old, and the problem is also found in IE, but I could be wrong.
I know that there was an exploit of this sort in IE that was announced on Secunia, and it may or may not have included Firefox.

I used to hold software writers etc. in awe. Especially those who posted here at FR.
As this thread points out, they may be book smart, but real world stupid, as your reply #21 clearly shows.
After reading threads like this for several years now, I realize they're just average thinkers, and not much different than me when I fought with my childhood friends (sometimes real fist fights) about which tractor was better, John Deere, Farmall, or Allis Chalmers. The difference is, I grew up.

I just downloaded Firefox and still use IE. Fonts in Firefox seem strange to me. Either too big, too little, or a bizarre combination. IE does fonts well.

in addition to being the most hacked browser, IE is probably also the most secure.
