Security Update

[Illuminati]

Wow - I thought I'd never see a security update for Firefox

Then again, the fix was created a day after the vulnerability was made public, so it's still evident the Mozilla guys are still working like crazy

time to move on to firefox 0.9.2

I decided to install 9.2 instead, seems just a bit different since 0.8

I had to try this out. With the patch, I couldn't see the first three links and the fourth one opens an empty box. To test without the patch, in about:config, I changed the value of network.protocol-handler.external.shell from false to true.

The first three links now show up and did exactly what it says. The fourth one caused multiple firefox windows to open and used up all cpu. I hit the disconnect button on my modem and end task twice on firefox.exe to recover.

I need to change that back to false NOW!

edit: it was the third link that showed and opened an empty box
