Firefox Updated to 1.0.4
Exstatica writes "Firefox has been updated to 1.0.4 and they have fixed a few critical security holes, all javascript vulnerabilities. The Mozilla Foundation announced these vulnerabilities May 7th. 'There are currently no known active exploits of these vulnerabilities although a proof of concept has been reported." You don't have to upgrade, but it's recommended.'" We've reported on these vulnerabilities previously.
This guy at work noticed I was using firefox (he's an IE user), and said, slyly, "You know, there's a couple of really bad security holes." Good think FF fixes their holes faster than MS.
Next time I try to help a friend out I'm not suggesting firefox. I'm suggesting Netscape! Wwwait.
Why don't you upgrade your language from British English to American English?
That would solve both problems.

It seems that the Mozilla Suite has lost a lot of it's sex appeal. Firefox gets all the attention and Mozilla is the fat friend you gotta be nice to.
...FireFox downloads double to 100 Million!
I only came here to do two things; kick some ass, and drink some beer...looks like we're almost out of beer.
You know, you don't have to wait for Firefoux to come out, you can just use the regular old Firefox..
Aren't all clicks with a Mac middle-clicks?
Schrodinger's cat is either dead or really pissed off...
But, you know, the fat friend will still love you after the sexy one leaves you for another.

I don't care how much stuff it's downloading and executing
;)
Then why aren't you using IE?
Boy, I cannot agree with you more. If you have half a clue, then IE is easy to make secure. I just went into Tools - Internet Options and set the Security policy to Restricted Sites, turned on popup blocking (after I obviously installed SP2), set my Privacy level to High (because everyone except an idiot knows this is how to disable Cookies), and then installed all the hot fixes from MS. If you are too lazy to maintain your software properly then you shouldn't even have a computer. Just get a Mac or something.
It's like all those people who complain about safety problems in cars. My Pinto is safer than almost every car out there. All that with almost zero risk of theft. I strapped some padding onto the rear bumper and put some steel reinforcement plating around the gas tank. There is almost no risk to myself or my passengers of a ruptured fuel tank, all because I took the time to fix an inherent problem in the design of the ... wait .... err ... I gotta go.
