Spoofing flaw resurfaces in Mozilla browsers
A 7-year-old flaw that could let an attacker place malicious content on trusted Web sites has resurfaced
Friday, June 10, 2005 by Tarkus | Discussion: WinCustomize News
A 7-year-old flaw that could let an attacker place malicious content on trusted Web sites has resurfaced in the most recent Firefox browser, Secunia has warned.
The flaw, which also affects some other Mozilla Foundation programs, lies in the way the software handles frames, which are a way of showing Web content in separate parts of the browser window. The applications don't check whether the frames displayed in a single window all originate from the same Web site, Secunia said in an advisory on Monday. Firefox 1.x, Mozilla 1.7.x and Camino 0.x versions are vulnerable to the flaw, the security monitoring company said.

We see things different on this Firefox vs. IE thing Citizen Ka806, but I appreciate your point of view on it anyways.

perhaps it is horses for courses afterall. another theory ofcourse could be the danger of trafficking in generalizations and unbalanced assertions.

Hmm, Micrsoft thinking adding tabs to IE 7.
What happened to Windows?? They even have a pathetic somewhat tabs in their latest toolbar. Maybe, Microsft can now rename their infamous operating system Windows to Tabs!!!
What was the sell pitch??
Oh, I remember, "You can open many Windows".

You'll still have many open windows. Just because one program will have tabs doesn't mean all your programs are going to share the same window. And if you really like multiple IE windows, you'll probably still have that option.

Kind regards my friend Tarkus.
FireFox has tabs and is excellent. Imagine the cluttered taskbar while using IE (just one program) with multiple windows opened. How messy the taskbar is and other things are while juggling the different opened windows of IE. Trying to keep up, which sites are opened and where the window is for that site? Now imagine other programs being opened at the same time and how difficult the life is with the taskbar and grouping.
By the way, Microsoft Excel has tabs. Time has come to dump Windows in lieu of Tabs!!!
Dell is trying to get Apple to let use it’s operating system on their PCs (Intel and AMD chips) for sale!!

That will NEVER happen. Apple OS X will always run on Apple hardware or Apple will lose money in their hardware sales.
And by the way - Dell has never used AMD chips at all. I wish.

Once I remember when I was young and bought a genuine IBM PC 8088. At that time there was no compatibles PCs. Paid Arm and Leg for it. Talked to an Apple salesman about buying IBM as it had 256KB RAM versus Apples 64KB. The Salesman didn’t see the future and couldn’t understand why somebody needed more than 64KB, as Apple had an excellent operating system.
IBM was in hardware, so they decided to give Bill Gates a chance and let him write the operating system, by his small company called Microsoft. “Micro” means minute. The rest is history and Microsoft is a giant today providing operating systems to IBM compatibles.
Apple always had better operating system but only sells hardware. What is their market share? Today all of us talk Linux. Back them there was GEM, based on Linux and nobody understood what it was. We all wanted PC DOS.
Please see the Link for Dell’s offer to Apple:
http://www.betanews.com/article/Dell_We_Would_License_Mac_OS_X/1118955105
This offer should make Apple a giant as it has still the best operating system, and what is wrong with clean competition.
By the way I admire Bill Gates and his Company. He is one of the benevolent people on our planet.
And, wouldn't be tabs better in IE, Windows Explorer and all across the range of Office XP!!

I am aware of the offer from Dell to use OS X on dell machines. Apple will never do it though. they would lose to much money in their hardware sales.

With Apple dropping IBM for their chip supplies and moving to Intel, there would be very soon Apple Compatiables.
Apple hardware share is already in 1 digit of the total PCs sales. It is botton out if it had not already done so!!
However, Apple has already responded in negative!!!
Who knows???

There were Apple clones before. They failed. The ONLY thing changing about Apple is the CPU will say "Intel" and not "IBM". Also I heard that the new Intel chips for Apple will NOT be x86 based.
