They released a fix (firefox 1.0.4) May 11, just a few days after one of the vulnerabilities this update fixes was "out in the open"... which is faster than the monthly updates by MS biggrin.gif

ps posted a thread on this before an update was available... -> http://www.trap17.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21548

I just wanna add this: the reason why the bugs are fixed faster is because firefox is open source, so a bunch of programmers can see the bug really fast.
