Thanks for the "reminder". I'd heard of the flaw, but I had neglected to get the update/fix.
As it becomes more popular, this browser will attract the same nuts that IE does . . . hopefully without the "I hate Microsoft" freaks.

I wondered how long it would take for such vunerablities to show up, howver it's still more secure than I.E.

I still use it with firewall and SpyBot, so anything that is run that shouldn't be gets picked up if it slips past firefox.

Can someone explain what this is about, I use firefox, but in China they block the BBC news so cannot see the story. A security issue I gather?

Never mind, I checked out the Mozilla link and all is sorted now. Annoying I can't get the BBC though.
