QUOTE(CrashCore @ Apr 12 2005, 05:14 AM) I would just like to add to this that ric said "I wonder when mozilla will release v1.0.2", but I have Firefox v1.0.2... Screenshot of my about page is here. It is possible that his post (Mar 15 2005, 11:46 AM) was before Firefox 1.0.2 came out, but I don't think so because I thought I've had Firefox for over a month. Well anyways I support Firefox, but I agree that if it became as widely used as Internet Explorer, it would probably have just as many bug exploits. However, I believe the bugs would be fixed faster due to Firefox's open source'ness.  The security update was March 23, 2005 The exploit was reported Sun, 13 Mar 2005 15:56:35 +0000 (announcement 14 Mar @ securitytracker.com -> http://securitytracker.com/alerts/2005/Mar/1013423.html) Most open-source software has lesser flaws than commercial. Because it's open source the creators/coders spent more time coding.... they want to make a clean script ... because everyone can see their skills. Greetz, Rik©

Hackers Focus Efforts On Firefox, Safari, And Office
(1) QUOTE Many people are switching from Internet Explorer to alternative browsers such as Firefox
and Safari. Though that might make them feel more secure, the shift has also opened new doors for
bad guys. Case in point: We have no IE bugs to report this month, but both Firefox and Safari have
been hit hard. So forget the idea that just because you've switched to a new browser,
you're magically safer. You may be for a time, but to stay safe with any software, you need to
keep current with fixes. Firefox Holes In a somewhat dubious recognition of Firefox's....
Opera, Firefox Bug Could Reveal Web Travels
(0) OH NO!!! (sarcasm there) QUOTE A flaw in the way the Firefox and Opera browsers handle an image
file could allow an attacker to see what Web sites a person has visited. The problem concerns how
the two browsers handle a ".BMP," or bitmap, image file, according to an advisory written by Gynvael
Coldwind of Vexillium.org, who posted a video illustrating the problem. A malicious bitmap file can
be created that pulls other information from the browsers' memory. Some of the information that
can be captured is random, but at other times could be valuable, the adviso....
Is There An Exploit In Vista Home Premium To Make Firefox Permanant Default Browser?
(4) I just got a new laptop, and of course it's loaded with vista. Everything works awesomly! (my
last PC was from 2001, BIG DIFF.) But the damned thing compulsivly and automatically sets Internet
Explorer to my default browser and won't let me change certain things which browsers will
typically handle. 've manually changed it so Firefox handles all the stuff except HTTPS and
what not (CANNOT CHANGE W/O HACK!), but IE just bumps in every time I want to click a link from a
non-browser based file /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="....
Firefox Flaws Galore
(7) Well it seems firefox flaws are becoming a popular now, the two flaws that have been reported all
follow the same protocol that had posted about before; QUOTE The flaw lies in Firefox's URL

programs on the victim's PC without authorization, said Tyler Reguly, a security research
engineer at nCircle Network Security Inc. "They're both related to the URL handling process," he
said "It's just different errors within that handling process." So far it would se....
Interesting New Ie - Firefox Bug ( A Must Read Asap)
FF 2.0.02 and up users need to know about this (3) Well it has finally happen and strangely enough I didn't really think about it until now, but it
seems a security team found a very high level bug that requires both Internet Explorer 7 and
Modzilla Fire Fox. This is the jist of the bug; QUOTE The root of the matter is a Firefox
uniform resource identifier (URI) that allows Web sites to force Firefox to launch with the
"firefoxurl://" URI, Secunia reported. The way in which the URI handler is registered by Firefox
causes any parameter to be passed from IE (or another application) to Firefox when the "firefoxurl....
Windows Crashing. Can't Use Opera Or Firefox
deleted files in temp folder (3) Windows has been acting strangely by now, it freezes/clogs badly, I can't use Opera, MF or
continue my tutorials due to this problem. It gets on my nerves as I think it was MY problem because
I deleted MOST of the files in the Temp folder. CODE (Start>Run...>%Temp%) That folder,
most of the files were deleted by me. I consulted my friend by half-screwed MSN, he said I "effed me
up the arse" by doing that. He recommended me backing up and formatting. I never did that before so
I think it will be most-likely half-impossible for me. And as I don't have a ....
