New Warning over IE flaws

[BoB]

I prefer Firefox over IE because Firefox doesn't bombard me with popup
windows, graphic ads in the pages, and generally loads all sites faster.
Oh, and it's NOT vulnerable to all the IE security issues that arise on
a weekly basis in the news.

I also like Firefox's design. I went to http://www.pyrenean.com site
today for info on DNSKong. There were eight links for info on running,
configuring etc. I clicked each in turn and had it load as a tab. As
they were loading [modem], I moved back and forth through the tabs to
determine which I actually wanted to copy. Firefox made the task very
quick and easy without eating up resources.

I like Firefox too. I like the idea of Firefox more than I like the program
itself so far. I like competition, and I like to have choices.

Right now, Firefox is buggy. It didn't take me long to remove the current
version. I am disappointed because it is so huge and slow, but it's really
more like an alpha program than beta at his point. So I am very optimistic
about it winding up slim, trim, and quick. Because the developers are
working gratis, open source development tends to be glacier-slow and
inconsistent. This worries me. Right now, Firefox adds nothing to my
browsing experience; in fact, it slows me down quite a bit. Except for the
unpredictable open source cloud, the future looks bright for Firefox.

Really? In which specific respects? I've used nothing but Firefox,
Firebird and predecessors for two years now. including banking, ebay
and Amazon. The only site where I've ever had any problem is that of
my own ISP, www.myctiveware.com, and I suspect that that's because
they have little happening between their ears.

There was a little while there when you seemed liked a breath of fresh
air, Bob, against the Microsoft bigots, but it seems you're just as
bad as they are. You're talking nonsense and you know it. You're
half a step from a plonk, Bob.

I never use IE unless it's absolutely necessary. But I regularly do
/all/ the security updates.

But I had to use it the other day to sign up to an ISP. And guess what,
despite using a firewall I was infected! Can U believe it?!! The first
time I used IE in over a month I was infected within five minutes. Some
achievement, that, even for M$. Read about it here:
