[kj] OT: Firefox

[Brendan Quinn]

This is a good defence to the recent article I posted about Firefox being a
top security risk (which just doesn't sound right):

ulnerable+App/article13717.htm

 

Gotta admit I wondered at the bias when I didn't see M$ operating systems,
browsers, or Office in the list.(!)

 

I also had a tweak and got FF 3 working much snappier, quite noticeable even
on a fast (10-15Mbps) connection:

548570&pnum=2> &objectid=10548570&pnum=2

 

(I used the 2 add-ins and found some other config tweaks on another site cos
these ones aren't all FF 3 current.)

 

I'm gonna install Chrome and see how that goes.
