Re: Highly Critical Firefox Security Vulnerability Discovered--No Patch Availabl
Hopefully there will be an updated to each browser soon.  I love each browser's solution (firefox, mozilla, netscape) to this critical vulnerability:  "Solution:  Don't browse untrusted web sites."  I can think of a better solution - they fix the problem and have patches or upgrades to the browsers.  I'm sure they will eventually but jeepers, what a silly thing to say for a solution.  A lot of people still trust the phishing emails they get about eBay, paypal, etc and enter their id's and passwords, how are the same people and others going to understand what a trusted site is and isn't?

Re: Highly Critical Firefox Security Vulnerability Discovered--No Patch Availabl
I was just snooping around and found this on the mozilla site:

Quote:Security Advisory (September 9, 2005) The Mozilla Foundation is aware of a potentially critical security vulnerability in Mozilla and Firefox browsers' support for IDN, as reported publicly on September 8. There are currently no known active exploits of this vulnerability although a "proof of concept" has been reported. To protect yourself against this exploit, follow these instructions: https://addons.mozilla.org/messages/307259.html
