1. Anyone notice the patches are already out for this?

2. Notice that this vulnerability only works at "user level access". That means if you do your surfing with a standard user account it's next to impossible for a hacker to install anything because your account won't have those system privileges.

3. Firefox does not have hooks into the system as IE does, therefore it is much harder to use it to compromise your system.

1. yeah i noticed, but thought it would be of interest,as the reason i tried out firefox was because i read it was more secure than internet explorer

2.didn't know that

3. or that

Two and three are two of the reasons Firefox is more secure by design than IE.

Firefox IS more secure that IE
vulnerabilities or not
everything has vulnerabilities, its Firefox ability to have its code fine combed by the community, and its quick release of patches that makes it more secure
that and it was built from the ground up to not be a gaping hole!
