Yes you´ve seen it right, a new product condom as they say has been developed to prevent malware and all sorts of nasties it´s the same as the new coming safe/mode system Longhorn is going to have in the near future. Check it out if you are interested in more security for your system, i thought i´d share this with you guys http://www.amustsoft.com/econdom/
I´m also using FF for some while now and i like it, there is also something else that i picked up on that looks promising but surely would have it´s flaws as well. http://www.newkerala.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=71312
Why would you want to ditch firefox. I started using it for a 48hour trial fully expecting to move back to IE, that was 6 months ago.
Firefox is awful. It may be faster than IE but it logs you out of sites all the time. That's what I and a few of my friends find anyway.
That's called 'security'. Instead of blaming FireFox, just recode the login procedure on your sites to HTTP Auth or something else. Get the NoScript extension and FF is 1000 times safer than IE.
I am using both Firefox and IE. I am not sure if it happens to you, but my FF seems to load up slower the first time when you fire up the application. The econdom is a good one.
Just another money making scheme. If they really wanted something like that they would not be against Congress proposal for keeping the net safe for kids.
