iamdigitalman Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 go get it or, just click that little red up arrow next to the loading swirl thingy. it's a critical update, so I highly recommend it. you dont need it if you are running the 1.5 beta. I'm not, because it kept randomly crashing on this Win 98 machine. 1.0.6 is quite stable, so I dont expect much change with 1.0.7. just takes a long time to load on this machine. enjoy. later.

villarule Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Yea whatever.... Seems quite strange to me: Fix for a potential buffer overflow vulnerability when loading a hostname with all soft-hyphens Fix to prevent URLs passed from external programs from being parsed by the shell (Linux only) Fix to prevent a crash when loading a Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) script that uses an "eval" statement Fix to restore InstallTrigger.getVersion() for Extension authors I thought FF was ment to be the most secure browser, yet we are getting security upgrades. Just how do we know when something is fully secure? I will upgrade when I stop being lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell No.. Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Im using 1.0.7 anyway. Does it get updated automatically or something? I'm on Twitch! Are you? Come say Hi. https://www.twitch.tv/priceyryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I thought FF was ment to be the most secure browser, yet we are getting security upgrades. Just how do we know when something is fully secure? When's the last time you seen IE get updated this fast? And where do you get that a security update is bad?

Just how do we know when something is fully secure? When's the last time you seen IE get updated this fast? And where do you get that a security update is bad? 1. I stear well clear of IE, so I have no clue on updates 2. I never said that a security update was bad, but what I mean is, if the most secure thing is having security updates, how do we know really how secure we are using FF?

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Since when has anything been totally 100% secure anyway? Anyway I've got the BETA still so no update for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmSixTeen Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Mine don't work All of mine work seemingly. @ilikensrs, the incessant rambler on Firefox hatred - Firefox may suck in your opinion, but in comparison to it's competition (namely Internet Explorer) it's still the best of what may be a bad bunch.

segosa Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I never said that a security update was bad, but what I mean is, if the most secure thing is having security updates, how do we know really how secure we are using FF? There is no such thing as a perfectly secure piece of software. It is almost impossible. Firefox is just more secure than alternatives, that's all.

PresidentKiller Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I thought FF was ment to be the most secure browser, yet we are getting security upgrades. Just how do we know when something is fully secure? That's advertising. When you say you're better than the competition it's merely for advertising purposes. Firefox is just another victim of popularity. If Opera or any other browsers out there get popular, they will face the same problems as well.

Wolf68k Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Enough with the FF sucks crap. If you don't like good, but shut up about it. For the 'I thought FF was suppose to be the most secure browser'. It is and it isn't. FF is still relatively new. IE is old as hell and it's not any more secure than it was years ago, infact in some ways each version that comes out as it's own set of security flaws...the biggest one being the fact that's tied into the OS, and then there's ActiveX Controls. Opera has it's problems as well, the only reason no one makes a big deal about their problems is because not enough people are using it. Security * Fixed issue reported in Secunia Advisory 16645: Attachment URLs now used instead of cache URLs for viewing attachments. * Fixed drag-and-drop vulnerability allowing unintentional file uploads. Issue reported by mikx.de. * Improved handling of must-revalidate cache directive for HTTPS pages. * Fixed display issue with cookie comment encoding. Miscellaneous * Included Browser JavaScript by default. On first run after install/upgrade, Opera will fetch a fresh browser.js file and start using it. * Multiple stability fixes. Source: http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/850/ Mozilla admits their security faults and fixes them. Microsoft spend 2 years before they admit that something within their OS (messenger service and raw sockets) were a security risk and fixed them, and it's not any better with their browser. Security isn't sololy about the number flaws found or the frequency flaws are found, it's also what is being done about them. Mozilla; 24hours up to 1 week depending on how bad the flaw is. Microsoft; 30+ days up to....who the hell knows, there are moderate classed (enough that it could be bad if explioted correctly) flaws in IE6 that are left over for IE4.
