Mozilla Firefox Security Issue - May 11, 2005 16:21
Hey guys,

I don' t know if you guys use Mozilla Firefox and have heard about the exploit issue on the Firefox 1.3 versions.They' ve now fixed this with the new version 1.4. I' ve been using Firefox for ages now. Just read the articles that they' ve posted in the first paragraph and then download the new version. This is a serious update and highly critical that you do this! Other than that, have fun and peace!

I thought it had only been available for about a year. I know 1.0 only came out a few months ago.

I' m not sure what that' s supposed to mean. Kind of a non-response.

I know there were versions prior, but I didn' t know they went back multiple years into the past. Also, it was Firebird before it was Firefox.

I used it briefly when it was firebird. Ahh the good old days. YOu had to work for a living back then! And there wasn' t none of this techno-buzzy-do-it-for-yah dang nabit eeeelectronics neither. Nope, you got a shovel and and a butter churner and they said there, go surf the net with that.

I KNOW! Thankfully work is no longer required by anybody.

Guys, they just released a SECOND BUILD AND HOPEFULLY LAST UPDATE OF 1.4. Be sure to download this one and install it. Uninstall the original Firefox first tho.

Just click under Free Download box

This is a little late, but how are you liking things after the move?

Glad to see you back in the forums!

Sorry, Sharon...

I was detailed to another section at work. Though I had a computer there, they frown on using it for anything other than a paperweight.[:' (]

Managed to sneak a few times, but those were few in number.

My return has been completed, and I am ready for action...

Good to see that life is better for you now, Sharon. Now maybe your winters won' t be so cold, eh?

One last question...you aren' t anywhere near those landslides are you?

Hope not.

Winter? Not in " sunny California" baby!
