That's scary. Now I'm afraid to go other sites with Firefox. 0_o Hopefully Mozilla does it as soon as they can. Security threats are just awful.

I installed it, and after that, something strange happened. I can't access my Gmail account. All I see is, Loading... and then, I look at the bottom, it says "Done" and nothing shows up. It didn't happen before I updated it. Should I degrade it? dry.gif (I don't like saying Downgrade)

You have to realise, that Firefox is nowhere as bad as Internet Explorer, and it will take the FireFox team a month at the latest to fix it, but it would take Microsoft a few years to fix tongue.gif

    A Discussion on Why These Major Browsers Display Different Table Layou (3)
    Hi again! Recently I noticed that IE and FireFox display table layouts in different ways. It is
    a headache for web designer to add some compatibility for the issue. Currently I have some
    problems using tables in my website. For example FireFox adds 3-4 pixels to my table width where IE
    display is clean. I use some CSS mixed with HTML normal tables and want to customize my PmWiki
    theme to integrate it with the rest of my website. I appreciate any help. Thank you.....

    Let's settle this matter once and for all. (64)
    I was only recently made aware of the release of Firefox 3, having not been notified by Firefox, and
    problems with my internet connection that caused Trap17 and similar websites to slow to snails-pace,
    so I ended up missing the download day and haven't got it yet. The thing is though, I've
    been hearing a lot of negative press about it. I know that there was concern that Firefox would
    break Flash support a while ago, which was fixed, and I hear it's kind of restrictive as to
    downloading addons and junk. Now, I did actually test Firefox 3 Beta 5, and my only ....

    No seriously, I've been using Firefox since 0.x releases. I loved it. Every release, despite

    default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
    bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
    am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history

    You can access your FireFox cache files by typing this "about:cache?device=disk" into your FF URL
    bar There is the cache directory will tell you the directory in which cache is stored, this is not
    IE and you'll not be able to browse by going to that directory, because its in encrypted form.
    If you want to browse your cache, you're in the page! The about:cache?device=disk is the
    disk cache page! browse around in here. This is completely different to what is temporary
    internet files in IE. Use the quick find function by pressing / (forward slash) an....
