Death surfs with both.
IE8 in Windows, Firefox in Linux.
Hasn't really noticed any difference.
Some menus in Linux FF don't render properly, but no real biggy.

My AV finds nothing more distructive than cookies in Windows.

How old the mistake is makes it less of a mistake? Unlike you, I care
about people and posted this as a public service. All you want to do is
pretend you're better than others and get into a fight.

Just curious, what does a retiree like you need seven computers for?
Bragging rights?

LOL! Sure you do...that's why you're a spamming, trolling linturd liar
who has been asked by everyone in every non-moderated ng to STFU and get
lost and who has been thrown out of or barred from posting in moderated ngs.
Sure you care about others. YOU ARE A GD SICK POS LIAR!

It's a browser for crying out loud.

You're an idiot. Anyone can get infected by clicking on what appears to
be what you're looking for with a Google search. Have you always been
this clueless regarding the Internet?

Charging someone to do something for them is a standard business
practice since the fucking stone age, moron.

My real business is not computer related.

No, they didn't. They "fixed" it by making it possible to uninstall the
plug in from Firefox. Previous to that, it was not uninstallable.

I have never been thrown out of any "ng".

Letting people know about a vulnerability is caring. Lying like you do
is just sick.

Oh? Please explain just how that happens using Window 7 and IE8 ok?
Oh and provide real empirical proof like maybe an existing example. I'll
be glad to test drive it.

So you make $14,000 per week charging for something that is free and
spend all of your time everyday spamming and trolling in these ng's.

After its been fixed? Bullshit, its your MS hatred getting the best of

That is not the point. Users that wish to use Firefox should be able
to do so without any interference, users that wish to use IE8 should
be able to do the same.

What was the point to linking to old news?
The fix is in.
You FF users may fix it.
