    Post Thanks Evan

    Using the Mozilla Firefox browser now, it's great. Thanks for the good advice.

    I hate to say this but go to www.mozilla.org for an update. They just discovered a vulnerability in Firefox. The good news is that no one is trying to take advantage of it, yet. Make sure you have the latest version. Unlike Microsloth, it only took them two days to fix it.

    If there where as many sub-human life forms out to get Mozilla as there are out to get Microsoft, it would be decimated almost instantaneously.

    Carl,

    You are dead wrong. Mozilla and Firefox as well as the other projects of the group are open source. This means that thousands of eyes and brains are constantly looking for flaws and finding them. They are reported to the working group and they fix them before, in nearly all cases, final release of the product. Free to boot. I use open source web server software as well as open source mail server software and both programs have NO known vulnerabilities. As a comparison, Windows XP had over 300 serious problems found in the first year after release. Compare that to Free BSD which has had one (1) vulnerability found in eight years.
