   Fun fun fun and joy [sigh] On the one side, I hate it whenever a vulnerability is discovered…on the other…it’s FLOSS software…in a few days, at most, we’ll have 2.0.0.7 out and that’ll be it…on the other hand, if it were IE, it’d take a few months instead, after spending the first one or two denying that it’s a problem

   I’ll concede that FF tends to be much more “nimble” than IE.

   However, was the last vuln. I mentioned cured in 2.0.0.6? I didn’t see mention of it in the release notes.

   I’m posting this from within Maxthon2.

   a) I have no clue how safe it is.
   b) Nobody in the world will hack a browser used by 12 people.

   Most of china that has internet connectivity so what is that? 12 people? They’re all at work painting our kid’s toys with lead paint so they can take over the US after we owe them the whole country because they’ve bought it up with our own money. They’re way too busy to browse the intertubes.
