Emmo, I just went to the updates area you pointed out in the brower itself. I said there was a critical update so I clicked to download it. It downloads a new updated Firefox and installs it while extracting the old one automatically. It's already done, took about 1 minute.

Thanks.



I tried that when I was working on the post and it told me I was already up to date.  I'm confused......(What's new??)

I'm already running v 1.0.3 what version did you download?? I believe I've been running that version for a little while now.

It was 1.0.3 I think. I have never updated until now so I'm at your level now.

About Mozilla Firefox

Scroll down for revision information. Thanks guys. You caused me to update too. I need to use Firefox. The writing on this site is way too small with IE. If I change the font, every other site is too big. IE with this site is OK on some machines, but not all. I don't think I have a crazy setup. IE6, Win2000, TFT 1400X1050 or so. Firefox is fine, IE is too small for the old eyes. Peter seemed to have a bee in his bonnet for Microsoft. So I gave up.

I remember vividly when this site was being literally created by Peter about the problems folks with IE had here.  I have always run IE here and never had the problems then or now other than the site still continueing to log me off after I have been offline for a few hours.  I have accepted the fact that if that is going to be my only problem I can live with it.  I don't know why my system has always done fine here but it does.  I do remember Peter not being a fan of IE.  If my memory serves me he called the entire Windows operating system a Beta program.

I am glad the info I found was helpful and hopefully spares all of you any aggravation.

I don't believe this statement was on the Mozilla website yesterday.......

Security Advisory (May 8, 2005) The Mozilla Foundation is aware of two potentially critical Firefox security vulnerabilities as reported publicly Saturday, May 7th. There are currently no known active exploits of these vulnerabilities although a "proof of concept" has been reported. Changes to the Mozilla Update web service have been made to mitigate the risk of an exploit. Mozilla is aggressively working to provide a more comprehensive solution to these potential vulnerabilities and will provide that solution in a forthcoming security update. Users can further protect themselves today by temporarily disabling JavaScript.

For more information about the vulnerabilities, see the advisory. Further information including the availability of updates will be posted at www.mozilla.org.

I've found this page from Mozilla that describes Firefox vulnerabilities and how to empty your "whitelist" and disable Javascript until the new fix comes in. HTH
