The open-source Firefox Web browser is critically flawed in the way it handles JavaScript, two hackers said Saturday afternoon.
[...]
The hackers claim they know of about 30 unpatched Firefox flaws. They don't plan to disclose them, instead holding on to the bugs.
Thanks for the information Negative. I would give you greenies but I get that generic message ' you must spread your points around etc.. so kudos. Now, IMO 30 'unpatched' flaws in any software is a lot. Personally I don't use firefox. IMO, 'I' perfer IE over FireFox. For my own personal reasons.
You can not secure Mozilla/Firefox through the GPO (Group Policy Object) like you can with IE.
Second, some sites where strictly *coded* for IE. So viewing a site strictly coded for IE will not look 'proper'/ 'function correctly' in another web browser such as firefox/netscape/opera/konquer etc...
Just disable Active X, configure Java Permissions, Scripting (Javascript and VBS script, Active Scripting etc...) and my personal favorite user authentication.
As long as you stay up-to-date with the latest updates for your OS all your software, secure your web browser, then you can avoid about 99% of the junk on the internet. Just my two cents. Computernerd22
