You have to love this:




  • Doesn't this case illustrate that all browsers are equally insecure?
    The Mozilla Foundation continues to have a very strong track record on security. According to Secunia, an independent security monitoring organization, Firefox currently has 1 open security issue, out of a total of 13 security advisories filed in 2003 and 2004. 0% of these are labeled "extremely critical", 15% are labeled "highly critical". For the same period, Secunia lists 16 open security issues out of 44 advisories for Internet Explorer 6.0, 14% of which are labeled "extremely critical", 34% are "highly critical".

Just be careful with this as I had it running beautifully for 2 weeks, installed a new plug-in and now for the life of me I can't get it going at all, even after full uninstall and it seems I'm not the only one either..:(

If you don't tweak too much the new builds won't let you install incompatible or anauthorized addons. But anyway, making it work is pretty straightforward: Backup your user profile somewhere, then delete it by hand ( normally in /Documents and Settings/{username}/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles ), restart Firefox and then import your favorites from the backup.

May I also add that ANY serious Firefox user MUST pay a visit at this freaking awesome site:
http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/
Poweruser's dream... And you will actually find out why Firefox is vastly superior to any other browser curently. Out of the box it's just a solid, basic, no-nonsence slim browser, but with a bit of common sense you can add to it pretty mush anything you want.
