Pretty bad when they can't even get links in the article correct....which is nothing new for PCmag.
"There are also a number of crash bugs, such as bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_ bug.cgi?id=263609, and these often indicate an exploitable vulnerability behind the scenes." I was interested to know what was on the page. At any rate, it just reaffirms my thoughts on FF. Popularity of the browser is going to kill them, because, I don't think they're quite big enough (like M$) to keep up with this probable "malware written especially for FireFox" which *IS* an eventual certainty. With popularity, comes problems. You can bet if far fewer people used IE, there would be a ton less vulnerability exploits. FF dev's also won't fix bugs that have been reported on Bugzilla for 6 months and counting (that's just the ones I've been tracking). That coupled with no patch releases I fear is going to really hurt them. They're still "not ready for prime-time". As I understand it, their current release of FF is an official release version, is it not? If so, they should have fixed all these bugs, plus have patch releases (for bugs AND vulnerabilities) available either via some "Updates" area on the toolbar, or a special dynamic link in FF's bookmarks similar to the M$ Update Site. (Wow, that article is full of bad links! The correct URL for that one above is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263609 . They are leaving out the http prefix in their HTML code, plus adding spaces where they shouldn't be). -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For those who are using Firefox, you might find this article interesting. http://snipurl.com/dgrc Roger ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
