Good point. I’d forgotten about that one. Well, forgive me. I’m not too knowledgeable about the specifics of the bugs. Heck…I’ve barely scratched the surface of about:config. Soo…I’m just gonna shut up now.

Drakonik - the bug for those running GreaseMonkey did allow programs to run on the user’s machine.

Yes, there are more vulnerabilities. However, how bad are said vulnerabilities? I assume you’ve heard the saying “It’s not quantity, but quaility.” One Slashdotter said “THe bug in Firefox may allow someone to crash Firefox, but I can just restart it. However, in IE, the bug allows them to gain remote administrator access.”
