Seems to be. It even says on the info page that the bug only affects IE. :huh:

@darth - Yep. v1.06

@emdee - I know. How odd :(

did firefox actually crash, or did it just stop respoding for a moment, and you closed it?

screen froze, mouse & keyboard unresponsive, beep from PC unit, brief BSOD followed by an automatic reboot. :blink:


EDIT: XP Pro SP2 ... :wacko:



EDIT2: Update - Also crashes in Netscape Navigator on my PC. However, it works fine in Opera, .. :01:




My PC is a freak! :ermm:

It didnt crash for me, it paused for about 5 seconds and then i closed it :unsure:

It was fine in my firefox

PHP Code:

<?php
include('global.php');
$posts = $DB_site -> query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post");

where ($post = mysql_fetch_array($posts))
{
      echo $post['message'];
}
?>

Sighhhhh. You guys give Firefox too much credit.

It worked for me on an old POS IBM Thinkpad laptop running Windows 2000 and IE 6.

A hole in IE exposes a driver, that you might or might not have, to a script that overloads it.

Other browsers don't have this hole - IE does.

You not crashing means that you don't have the particular Nvidia video driver, not that Firefox is any better or worse than 'those guys' are making out.

it means firefox>IE. nuff said
