rvbfan Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 It's been shown where you could mimick the chrome interface of Fx too. I forgot a link, but it looked like a normal browser window except for the fact it wasn't. 584834966[/snapback] I have to agree, give it time the hackers will find Firefox. Right now it's more fun to mess with IE. When Firefox becomes more wide spread, it will become more attractive to script kiddies and such.

OPaul Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Right clicking or holding left shows the correct URL, I'd hardly call this a major threat. As was pointed out on the front page this can be mimicked with simple Javascript.

ssvegeta384 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Yet another reason I use Firefox. Besides, my network card doesn't play nice with SP2 and internet games, and I can't find an updated driver.

forster Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Perhaps some of the people who consider the Firefox & SP2 bandwagon as 'fads' will be more tempted to use them. If you cant get SP2 to work on your machine, you've done something wrong at your end, because the Service Pack runs and installs fine.

Veiva Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 After SP2 no there is no need for 3rd party browsers... 584843440[/snapback] Yes because: You can't skin IE IE is intergrated IE is slow IE is primitive IE still has plenty of holes IE doesn't have the great extensnios ActiveX is evil IE is also ugly That is all I have to say about that. Opera and any Firefox/Mozilla and many other browser support this.
