Mozilla/Firefox drops Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger
Feb 07, 2010 - 4:16 PM - by jobeard
According to Infoworld, Feb 5, 2010: Baring any last-minute change of mind, Mozilla will permanently drop support for Mac OS X 10.4 from future editions of Firefox. Mozilla stopped supporting Mac OS X 10.4, aka Tiger, in September 2009, but left a large amount of Tiger bits in the development code. Now, said Josh Aas, a platform engineer for Mozilla who works on Mac OS X integration, it's time to either restore support for the five-year-old operating system or remove the code from the development tree. see the original article

IE flaw can turn your PC into a file server

In an article from Computerworld by Ellen Messmer, February 4, 2010:

Quote:

In a live demonstration Wednesday at the Black Hat DC conference, a security consultant showed how it's possible to exploit a flaw in the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser to remotely read files on the victim's local drive, prompting a security advisory from Microsoft.

See the original article for details

Many have suggested that you use ANY other browser for a long while now -- are you?

Mozilla add-on was infected :blush:
Feb 05, 2010 - 1:01 PM - by jobeard
Mozilla late Thursday confirmed that it had failed to detect malware in a pair of Firefox add-ons, which may have infected up to 4,600 users. The add-ons have been removed from Firefox's official add-on download site . According to an entry on the Mozilla Add-ons blog , *Sothink Web Video Downloader 4.0 and all versions of Master Filer were infected* with Trojan horses designed to hijack Windows PCs. Both add-ons were in the "experimental" area of Firefox's add-on download site, where newer extensions remain until they undergo a public review process. To install experimental add-ons, Firefox users must view and accept an additional warning. See the original Infoworld article for details.
