It's been all over slashdot. I guess I probably should read it more thoroughly though.
Good thing I haven't re-installed Java since reformatting, I suppose.

Good thing i have my emergency "im be hacked omgwtf, HELP!" button, aka the power button.

IE has far more critical security flaws than Firefox.
Well, I dunno which thing to disable, javascript or java, or both. I just disabled javascript, but no doubt I'll have to turn it on later for my brother's stupid online game that he just CAN'T go without.
Everything has holes
Even my pants
Way to miss the point.
No, both browsers have the same and equal security flaw :
Idiots who browse stupid sites.
It's not the browser, it isn't going to save you from a cracks site filled with spyware and trojan downloads.
And I think this line covers it all really :
Your precious magical browser is going to be just as "broken" as you consider IE eventually, so why bother changing, honestly, when IE works just as well for the simple idea of OMIGOSH, browsing webpages.However, industry observers have long warned that the browser is more secure partly because of its relatively small user base. As Firefox's profile grows, attackers will increasingly target the browser.
Honestly, who needs all the extraneous crap in firefox, I'm quite happy with just looking at webpages and that's that.
Whatever you say, Lindy. It's always the same thing anyway.
Yeah, s'called an opinion, crazy eh? Oddly, when you have one, they don't normally change, whattashock!
