Thanks, that could be why my FF 3.0.1 keeps craping out with "unexpected error, must close".

Yet another reason to use IE  :-X

Sorry, No Way.

Ken
Yes. Sorry TB but Ken is right. Give me Noscript for IE and give IE a GNU license and I might agree.

Firefox is undoubtedly the best browser....   ....for Unix ;D

Too many security holes due to poor coding, which are now being discovered as FF gets more popular, for me to use as a day to day windows browser.

FF also suffers from the 'Linux Syndrome' - 'its not Microsoft, and thus secure' mentality.  MS had the big hits around the turn of the century, and have tightened up their act.  A significant proportion of MS threats are now what are called Blended - where products individually are secure, but together create a flaw.


GNU is a horrid licence, much like GPL, which even the latest v3 is so full of holes (much like the software it tries to protect) that its rather pointless - try reading it one day ;)

Open source has fundamental flaws which are tied to its only advantage of 'open access to source' - makes it easier for the more stupid members of hacking comunity to find the flaws, who outnumber the clever hackers considerably.  Commercial/hidden code does not suffer this to any extent.  But then, obviously, you can't customise it.

Open source also has the problem of amateur coders coming up with a really cool new feature/modication, but without the ability to create it securely, or an add-on that only works with older versions, meaning end users keep running older, broken software...
