Mozilla Firefox Updated to 3.0.8

[Haytch]

Ie does indeed have a lot of security flaws, all the browsers do. Since ALL the browsers suffer from either a coding issue(s) or major security flaw(s) i dont really need to educate myself about software development and security issues because reading the fixes helps outline everything.

Like i said, ' Im glad that the Firefox team are constantly updating their browser, but it seems to me like they need to scrap the whole thing and start from the ground up all over again. ' Incase you guys missed it, im actually happy that they keep finding holes and making repairs and i hope this never stops.

I guess i would appreciate FF more if it felt like i was downloading version 3 and that got updated instead of downloading a whole new browser every .0.1 release.

rebuild any browser from the ground up, and more holes will appear.

If it was as simple as you say there'd be a lot of browsers with zero security holes... hmm, i cant find one.

The only thing that needs to be scrapped and rebuilt fresh that we use is windows

The most important issue with FF was, that it was started crashing two builds back.

3.0.7 and now 3.0.8 looks like good news , no more funny issues .

Must be sporadic, I and no one I know have had any crashing problems since like v2 (java is an exception, but has been much better lately and IDK if FF is even to blame).

Well i love FF for many years now , i do not use multiple plugins , just a skin and a spell checker .

It started crashing at 3.0.5 , i do not know if was Java , that it dislike it , or other cause .

What I do know is, that it runs good now 100% stable.

it happened, vista is as close as they could get to a complete ground-up rebuild without totally trashing any sort of legacy components. the problem is that they left us with the same shell, just a little updated and spiced up. with windows 7, not only is the infrastructure changed once again, but even the shell is new.

the ones that are less popular have "less" security holes as less ppl exploit them.

I have to laugh at how unsecure Firefox is. Every update addresses security issues. Im not saying other browsers are better or worse, but you simply dont brag about something that was recently patched up to continue being used. Kinda reminds me of a punctured bicycle tyre.

It's Microsoft kinda scheme .... some people love it (updates) and some people hate it but it makes us all feel like someone is taking care of us.

Just wondering how plausible is to us that we first get introduced with somekind alien bugs that weren't there in previous major V2. And then we're on the road to updates. I personally can't believe that V3 introduced clean all cookies bug that is still there w/o clean cookies on close tickled in the options. Well, at least ff gets faster but unfortunately lacks some of it's original style w/o even they try to make some virtual same 'old school appearance' onatopp it's new engine.
