Well if one was concered about the security hole , nows your chance. :D

Has anyone found the 1.03 version less stable than previous editions. Mine seems to eat most of the available RAM, go unresponsive and finally have to be shut down from the task manager.

Fine for me, and my computer's prone to all kinds of memory leaks and unexplained shutdowns.

No problems here either, even my kids haven't crashed FF up till now (and believe me, normally they can and do).

[manker]

Thanks, lads.

It's almost definitely my fault, I installed it then replaced big parts of the mozilla folder with stuff from a different version. I can easily do an clean install but was thinking of going back to a previous version if others were also having probs.

[SaYiaN]

just updated, seems same as before :dry:

[uNz[i]]

1.0.4 final is now on the Firefox download page (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/).

You'd probably need an extension for that.

Here's what's new in Firefox 1.0.4:

* Several security fixes.
* Fix to DHTML errors encountered at some web sites.

Netscape (http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/download.jsp) is the best browser available ... use it and you'll see that for yourself

Thanks for that, goofy is a good word to describe how it behaved on my set-up too - and it's always good to hear that you're not the only one in the world with teh software problems.

finally firefox 1.04 renders slashdot properly :01:

...and in related news...


IBM is encouraging its employees to use Firefox, aiding the open-source Web browser's quest to chip away at Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Firefox is already used by about 10 percent of IBM's staff, or about 30,000 people. Starting Friday, IBM workers can download the browser from internal servers and get support from the company's help desk staff. more... (http://news.com.com/IBM+backs+Firefox+in-house/2100-7344_3-5704750.html)

Can't we stop spreading Firefox now.

I feel quite safe being in the minority :ermm:

You can always use both.

[manker]

You can always use both.I guess. It's just knowing that exploiting Firefox's users is not as potentially disruptive/lucrative as exploiting IE makes me feel better.

Firefox is the much superior browser and I don't want to feel it necessary to use a different one.

Sorry manker, I just got your meaning ! :lol: I agree, I'm not going to convert anyone anymore . The bigger you get the harder the fall. :)

[uNz[i]]

Actually, I'm a bit worried that some Firefox users feel a bit too safe...

If they can't getcha through the browser, the evul h4x0rs will just find another way to pwn your comp if they want it badly enough.

A lot of folk seem to have forgotten that.

A lot of folk seem to have forgotten that.Not really forgotten about it, I'm not worried about getting singled out for an attack - why would anyone want my comp. All they'd see is a load of crappy forum posts, some movies and TV eps that I'd not burned yet and a lifetime supply of lesbian porn.

What I'm more worried about is being collateral in a mass attack exploiting a browser vulnerability.

[uNz[i]]

Fair enough, but don't forget about the OS, Office app, firewall and AV vulnerabilities too... and that lot's just for starters.

You don't have to be singled out either. It's very easy to download the wrong file on a p2p network and cop a trojan. Suddenly your PC is being used along with a bunch of other compromised boxes for a ddos attack or to spam the hell out of people's email addys... or worse.

Everyone is feeling so safe because of the speed with which Mozilla issue security updates. I'm worried folks are getting complacent in other areas.

/me braces himself for even more "Whats the best AV/FW/AntiTrojan/AntiSpyware?" threads :shutup:

[manker]

Ah, of course. I see what you're saying and it makes sense.

I was reacting more to the "the evul h4x0rs will just find another way to pwn your comp" - I may have misunderstood your intention, slightly :D

[scottfree]

:unsure:

I'm confused... is firefox good or not...
if not what is the best

That's a difficult question to answer because everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Some like myself think it's great, but some will tell you they don't like it. I can tell you it's constantly gaining in popularity. The only way to really answer that is to say try it and decide for yourself. http://img116.exs.cx/img116/934/z0tdntknw.gif

Good advice davec8 , I install FF on freinds computers and put a short cut to both IE & FF . Then let them decide what to use. Some are surprised that you can have more than one installed. The ones that like Firefox always ask about another email client. Then I send a link to Tbird . :)
