I know a lot of you use this browser, I just stumbled across this warning article.

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.

Very interesting. They must have read this thread. 

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

Firefox 1.0.4 is now available

Security issues have been addressed.

Emmo, thank you Sir!

Thanks very much Emmo! I downloaded the new version and installed it. Version 1.04 ha? Well, lets hope its great and no more security holes! Mozilla should know better

Thanks, Emmo and Termy.  I have updated and it is just about flawless.  I got a Spellbound error but it has either been fixed or believe I know how to fix it.  Thanks for telling about this Chris.
