Done and done...although it does bear mentioning that that particular vulnerability would still require the user to click on a link in an email (as an example) to a spoofed website, and then download the software, as noted in the article.

Don't get me wrong...I have been a Firefox user since the early days, with one of the prime reasons being security, but user vigilance is still required.

It should also be noted that the speed at which the Firefox development team squashed these bugs and put out a new release makes Microsoft's Internet Explorer development team look like they're on quaaludes.

Well...I'm a regular Opera User...and I want to know if it's worthwhile shifting to Firefox.
I Google'd up for Opera-Firefox Comparisions and all I could find were Firefox-IE6 Comparisons...

Any Firefox and Opera Users out there?
Which one's better???
