hi folks, Well, Firefox news aint the greatest today... 30 vulnerabilities in javascript alone... seems that just a small javascript fragment can create a stack overflow and allow a root package to be dropped ... rats...
Common Mozilla, you're killing us here....
They're calling it the next Internet Explorer ... :-(
I do have a question... for some reason not due to anything I selected the "check for updates" help menu item is greyed out on Firefox... I am running 1.5.0.6 on Suse 10.0. The option for selecting updates is also greyed out... anyone seen this... maybe I've already been hacked...
1.5.0.6 is now "pretty old". Upgrade to 1.5.0.7 at least, or try the v2RC1. I am running 1507 and I don't have the "the check for updates" probably because I have the auto upgrades already selelcted. In any case, if you are worried about javascript then install the extension called NoScript which has been around for many months for those who are paranoid about javascript (like me).
