The caps are not mine. However, the references were to Microsoft, and I have a Mac. Also, there were words misspelled and a couple of grammatical oddities. When I declined to install - only then - a Firefox notice appeared. I finally got rid of the warning by shutting down Firefox, and today I upgraded to Firefox 3. Either this was a viral problem or I do actually have trouble on my Mac. I can't find the warning at the moment and have not been able to get through to Firefox. I would like to know what's up. lel I was running Firefox 2 yesterday and suddenly the screen was taken over by a screaming warning about spyware with 2 fixes that I needed to install IMMEDIATELY because my computer was compromised and at least one of the problems was CRITICAL.

Are the mozilla people trying to compete with microsoft in the "who leaves the gaping hole open longer"? ;-) No, seriously: A month should be more than enough time to create a patch for a critical issue. Is there some ETA when we can expect it? Erm, this issue is now nearly a month old. Are the mozilla people trying to compete with microsoft in the “who leaves the gaping hole open longer”? ;-)

My work has suspended use of Firefox and made us go back to IE7 and using the excuse of this problem to keep us from using the browser we like. Firefox works so much better for us that are sight impaired I hope all can be fixed soon. Wondering if there is any news on when a fix will be out.

FF is open source application any one can test it but i'll sure appreciate ZDI group for not disclosing the flaws method publicly. Hope Mozilla team will patch this flaw asap.

It just takes a quick fix to gain even more publicity. After all, there's no chance that a piece of software can be 100% bullet-proof. A browser's security should be decided on how fast each hole is fixed, so if it's fixed quickly, it could be turned to a positive news headline.
