Title: FireFox security hole (it's patched already. ;)) Post by: ConfusedUs on 2004-07-09, 04:44 Big security hole in Mozilla/Firefox for Win32.
Arbitrary application execution via shell: URL. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1621463,00.asp (http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1621463,00.asp) v0.9.2 of Firefox is available to fix this problem: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...Setup-0.9.2.exe (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.9.2/FirefoxSetup-0.9.2.exe) Alternatively, a patch in the form of an .xpi file, if you don't want to upgrade to 0.9x -> http://mozilla.org/security/shell.html (http://mozilla.org/security/shell.html) Title: Re: FireFox security hole Post by: OoBeY on 2004-07-09, 06:21 I am gay for Mozilla, and their one day turnarounds on security holes.
Title: Re: FireFox security hole Post by: Lopson on 2004-07-09, 09:45 I only use IE. Why does everyone buy those browsers? IE is very good!
Title: Re: FireFox security hole Post by: Tabun on 2004-07-09, 10:53 Yes, anyone who's actually buying Firefox is nuts. Me, I just downloaded it for free.
Thinking IE is very good is somewhat like liking city air. It's alright, and when you've lived there for years, it grows on ya. Then you take a hike in the countryside, and you suddenly realize there's such a thing as countryside-air, and you're hooked. Hence: other browsers.

IE is very good! lol, firefox is free, and it sure beats the hell out of IE. But that's a personal opinion. If used by someone with a brain, IE is usually ok. Title: Re: FireFox security hole Post by: Phoenix on 2004-07-09, 18:44 What I love is the patch just goes right in without any problems. I'm still using Phoenix 0.8 since I don't feel like compiling a new build, and it installed with one click, and no hassles or reboots like IE needs.
Title: Re: FireFox security hole Post by: shambler on 2004-08-11, 12:29 I could never get FireFox to work with M.E. but now I'm an XP guy, I intent to give it a go.
seems people who know about these things mostly use it. QUESTION: I use flashget 1.3 is there a downloader that works with firefox? Title: Re: FireFox security hole Post by: Footman on 2004-08-12, 06:56 Firefox has a built in download manage. :)
Title: Re: FireFox security hole Post by: shambler on 2004-08-12, 08:52 right i'll check it out.
