news.zdnet.com— The open-source Firefox Web browser is critically flawed in the way it handles JavaScript, two hackers said Saturday afternoon.

It's funny how it's the way FF handles JAVASCRIPT. Anyone ever notice that most flaws are through JS and ActiveX? Even IE's issues are usually related to those two. Maybe it isn't the browser so much as it is the programming language the browser is showing.
Read the livejournal of one of the guys involved: <a class="user" href="http://revmischa.livejournal.com/">http://revmischa.livejournal.com/</a>It would seem that they aren't as knowledgeable as they come off. One of the guys claims that they don't even know what they're talking about! The cnet reporter explained to me that "their presentation was meant to be humorous". (In that context, it explains the crazy quote at the end of the article.)
you know I see all these firefox users who seem to think that they don't have to worry about security just because they're using firefox.its when you've convinced yourself that you're secure, that you are the most vulnerable.(i see this in all the people recommending opera, too.)-sharp
Totally. never hear much on Opera going wrong? Best browser out there in my opinion. What of those sites that don't render well in Opera? Well, they aren't coded properly as the ACID2 test shows.

This is why I use Opera and not FF, Opera is by far the best browser out there.
