Welcome back Bas! Great to see you!

The OS integration is referring to cosmetic changes. Users of Mac and Linux had complained that FF seemed “separate” from their OS, so FF’s look got a makeover for those systems.

There is NO REASON anyone shouldn’t be using firefox.

Wooaaahhh… sorry just woke up after my monthly slumber! Hi all!

From Mozilla on the new FF3 features:

“Browse with a Firefox thatâ€™s integrated into your computerâ€™s operating system.”

Doesn’t sound very condom to me; especially in a point oh version?

Wouldn’t browse without ‘em!

I figured that was the reason they didn’t reveal it, but I wondered why reveal it at all? Partial information is like a challenge to hackers!

Erm… you DO have browser condoms, right?

No, I don’t need to know what it is, and neither does the hacker who’d just lurve to exploit it.

And anyway, it won’t effect anyone who doesn’t engage in unsafe browsing. So use your browser condoms and you should be okay.

What I liked about the article saying that there was a bug was that it screamed
“THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH FIREFOX 3!!! SOMETHING HORRIBLE!!! But you don’t need to know what it is.”

Mojo, I think you and I have been brainwashed by firefox. Our mantra “they’ll fix it soon”, uttered with fanatical conviction.

However, if they want to stay on top, they’ll have to fix it soon, and so they will. they don’t want those 8 million downloads rolling back to the previous version.

Yay, Che sent me the TMP add on! Poor Luddite Richard. I think he had an Almanac or was a musician or summat.

Meh, they say that about everything, all the time. I’m sure they’ll correct any vulnerabilities v. soon.

And now they are saying that there is a vulnerability in Firefox rated as High but they aren’t saying what it is. Isn’t that always the way?

Mojo just showed me how to download it and everything. Sometimes I’m such a Luddite.

You guys are talking words about computer stuff. Can’t comprehend. Need to go read about Gandhi and Churchill. Mmmmm history.

Maybe I should read a history of Firefox.
