I use firefox and IE and I like firefox allot. (tabbed browsing is the shit)

BUT... When firefox has been around as long as IE with as many users as IE then talk to me about how many holes it has and have been patched.

:whackit:

Microsoft gets picked on by hackers cause there are MILLIONS of people using it. So comparing firefoxes 5 exploits to microsofts 10,344,697 it is really stupid to think that its a fair comparison. :shake:

I will keep using firefox till IE has tabbed browsing. And I would bet my best friends paycheck that Microsoft will have it on IE 7 when it is released in the not so distant future. IMO

:D

Again, may i point out that the code is on the internet. Therefore finding bugs HELPS them. No one said it was immune but its not that hard for hackers to find flaws when they have the programs code in their possession.

I just shutoff "Enable Java" on Firefox. Temporary fix to a temporary problem.

It looks like the fix is out already!

Just download and install 1.0.4.

50 million downloads of firefox, it's getting up there. In the meanwhile we still get patches almost faster than the story breaks the media.

Bumped to let everyone know that the fix is indeed out.
