OT...Firefox hack attack warning
Firefox hack attack warning
August 17, 2008 - 3:26PM Several security holes have been discovered in Firefox and other software from Mozilla. The Thunderbird e-mail program and the Seamonkey program suite have also been affected. Users should update their software as soon as possible once patches become available, recommends the German Federal Agency for Security in Information Technology (BSI) in Bonn. The warning applies to Firefox versions prior to 2.0.0.16 and 3.0.1 as well as to Seamonkey. In the latter case, any version prior to 1.1.11 is vulnerable to hacker attacks. Those who do not receive automated updates can download them manually at http://www.mozilla.com/firefox or http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases. No update is available as yet for Thunderbird, which is affected in all versions prior to 2.0.0.16. DPA Bigbazza (Barry)

I have been using Firefox for about a week. I was using trusty old Netscape Communicator but it started crapping out on me and I was getting messages that AOL doesn't support my reader, and I don't use AOL. I still prefer Netscape except that I would have to open it and log in 3-4 times before it stopped self destructing on me.
