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

Good for them. Patch before exploits are released. Microsoft can learn from this.

No problem.

Firefox automatically notified me as soon as the update was available.. ( Thursday )
My browser was updated less than 5 minutes later..

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.

1.5 was a piece of crap.

I installed it on all my machines and it would hog CPU time like nobody's business. Had to uninstall and go back to 1.07.

My love affair with Firefox is badly damaged. I don't trust what they're putting out anymore.

It's time for Microsoft and Firefox to fund a new class of users - internet bounty hunters.

I hate that my favorite Theme, Charamel, is not supported by FF 1.5 and above. I hesitate to update to the latest version of Thunderbird because I'm afraid I'll lose Charamel there, too.
