FireFox users - extremely critical security flaws fixed - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

This is just a heads up to you all using Firefox, the new update is out now 1.04 and has fixed the security flaws that had so many people worried.

Is this the beginning of more attacks on open source and thus more holes being found in their software??

There is no such thing as perfect software, though with the open source community I would imagine that with most people it would come down to helping patch it, rather than helping exploit it.

I dunno why I'm still obsessed with FireFox 9 ... i just find that 1.0 is unstable ?

I highly disagree, although it varies with different systems most likely, I have found all the versions of Firefox to be stable and I have not had a single problem with any of the 1.0+ versions, including 1.04.

well correct me if I'm wrong, but the people who found these security flaws announced it and they got fixed straight away. No doubt there are more unknown security flaws but they exist in all browsers. The good thing about firefox is that the flaws get fixed so quickly.
