    Today seems to be Mozilladot day. At least it beats having another Googledot day. Variety is nice.

    I would update, but I already switched to Opera when they made it free.

    Hmmm...but FF *isn't* as secure as many people believed. The fansboys, for example, acted like it was bugless and totally secure (which no software is).

    I LIKE the way all of these problems are being found (and fixed). It means they're not there anymore. Provided the FF devs don't put too much fluff into future releases it'll also mean a better browser which is good for everybody.
