    Attn Firefox Users

    http://www.mozilla.org/security/anno...sa2005-42.html

    Two vulnerabilities were found in Mozilla Firefox that combined allow an attacker to run arbitrary code. The Mozilla Suite is only partially vulnerable.
    It kind of goes above my head, but this made it seem important.

    Yeah, no one should have the enable download and install tab highlighted.

    From my experience bugs like this are fixed faster in Mozilla/Firefox then in any other browser I have ever used before.

    Please don't turn my thread into an argument concerning what browser is the best.

    Just turn off javascript unless you really need it. Problem solved.

    That's the idea but keep in mind there may be other bugs present until they finish testing and release the final build. Here's the link in the mozillazine forum http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=6597
    Myself, I don't use nightly builds. I just wait for the final but there it is if you want it.

    Has anyone tried this nightly build, and if so how has it preformed?
