This might get people to realise that Firefox isnt a panacea for all MS ills. (still beats IE7 into a cocked hat though)

All browsers and OS (with very few exceptions) have security issues and need to be kept up to date.

Cheers Sam

Did all ours this morning after seeing this.
D'yknow - only Monday I switched over on my own machine from Mozilla Suite to Mozilla Firefox.

I think the suite is more stable, but now that tabs have been added, Firefox is more user friendly.

I use an ff derivative and aren't actually sure whether it`ll take the update. Mebbe I should go back to the basic ff.
Will investigate later.

Auto updates seem to have dealt with ff and extensions ok.

The only thing they couldnt update is a password storage facility I use ... which is worrying....lol

I don't store anything critical.
