I heard there is problem with the way FF handles quicktime
files which comprimise your security.
Not present in IE apparently.
I heard FF was supposed to be more secure.
Aparently not.

You know, if you are going to post something like this, it would be a
good idea to add a link or two confirming your report.  Otherwise it
just comes off sounding like FUD. Are you talking about this:

http://www.internetnews.com/xSP/article.php/3700316

Old news and fixed months ago at that.

Where?  What authority?

How?

There's more to life than that which meets the eye (i.e. "appears").

"Most agree that Firefox is vulnerable, particularly if QuickTime is
selected as the default media player."

I heard that in relativity theory, space and time are the same thing.
Einstein discovered this when he kept showing up three miles late to
meetings.

Thanks for the link, it would have been a good idea to include it in the
first place.

"Window Snyder, Mozilla's security chief said Wednesday her team was
looking into the matter."

I saw Window's blog entry after i replied to you.  I am sure this will
be addressed very quickly.

By the way, OE Quotefix would be a really, really good idea, if you are
going to post on Mozilla groups:
