    Im not sure if this forum is appropriate but I couldent find anywhere better to post it but heres an interesting article about a very serious new exploit in Mozilla Firefox. Its possible to steal user information with a new cross site scripting method.

    Quoted from Chaplin Information Services

    Just goes to show, the more popular a browser is the more hackers take interest and find new bugs.. So much for Firefox being the saviour from Internet explorer.

    I still have a blind faith on Firefox and cant switch to any other browser. Firefox is best for me.
