If official means coming from microsoft, well you might not get the whole story. You will be told to download the official patch or a patch is coming, etc.

IE has always had problems and I'm surprised by this latest news. I would think by now MS would have these issues worked out. After all other browsers have been out for some time. I started using Firefox a LONG time ago and love it. Seems like other companies stay on top of issues like this better.

I just switched to Firefox. Really not much different than IE. It could actually be a little faster. :yesshake:

Check out all the add-ons for FF it's great. My stepson uses one add-on that lets you save video from any site and he's got all kinds of videos from classic rock bands that you will NEVER get any where else.

I'm on dial-up or I'd be saving stuff too. There's lots of cool racing footage out there.

I use IE all the time, but I after all that is said on her about Firefox, I may have to give it a try. Thanks for the link bamm

 

[riskybzns]

firefox by all means is an awesome browser. i highly recommend you giving it a try, antsie.

 

[antsie]

Thanks and I will. Just have to move all my favorites bookmarks to FF!!

 

[riskybzns]

firefox has an option where it will import your IE bookmarks. No need to sweat the small stuff.

 

[antsie]

Wow it does that? Hopefully they have a "FireFox for dummies" I can use lol

 

[riskybzns]

i'd be shocked if there wasn't one. lol

FYI, Firefox had a security issue as well although it wasn't as well publicized. Version 3.0.5 should be what you download.

I've been using Safari almost exclusively now.

 

[riskybzns]

they all have issues. IE is the choice of hackers since it is used more often than any other browser.
