This is impossible because we know that open source code is invincible. We've been told. By "They".

The specific flaw exists only in Firefox 1.5 and was fixed in Firefox 1.5.0.1

Wonder if ver 1.0.7 is at risk? I believe it is. I'd recommend going to 1.5.0.1

"This exploit was published after we released the 1.5.0.1 update," Good for them. Patch before exploits are released. Microsoft can learn from this.
To: ShadowAce
No problem.
Firefox automatically notified me as soon as the update was available.. ( Thursday )
My browser was updated less than 5 minutes later..

Probably is, but why keep using 1.0.7?

When I try to download it the dialoge box says it must go to a disc and I cannot change it. Is there a way to download it directly? Thanks

Some of us just want to use the one (RPM) that came with our distro to centralize the update service..

For all those complaining about IE and Microsoft flaws...It just goes to show that ANYTING can be exploited....it's just a matter of time and popularity.

Except that nobody ever said that OSS software is immune to flaws, thats just something people say they hear when they want to bring a red herring to the discussion.
But I have heard people say that the architecture of a program does not matter *ONLY* its popularity and that is flat out wrong.
