Update!! Update!!

For those of you that want a more optimized FireFox, check here for MooX version. You can get a Release or a Trunk build. Release are stable. Each version (ie M1, M2, M3) is optimized for your processor, so make sure you get the right one. Here is the list displaying which one you would need.

These are not official builds from Mozilla.

You have to extract the EXE, and copy the files over the existing ones in your Program Files/Mozilla FireFox folder.

Your profile will not be affected. And your Extensions will stay.

It is recommended that you create a new Profile tho,here is a guide on how to do that.

Firefox is the best people rekon browser wars was over i say its just begining

Check your browser for the spoofing flaw here:

secunia.com...


Firefox 1.0.1, apparently, is not fixed.

My 1.0.1 doesn't get spoofed. It shows the phoney URL in the address bar.

Read that screen. If you can see it at all it means that you have been spoofed. Your browser says that you are at paypal, but you are actually at Secunia's website reading that warning.

Internet Explorer was the only browser that was not spoofed by that method and when you click the test in IE you see nothing. So the point is that the bug fools you by having one name in your browser address window while you are who knows where.

Take heed. There are workarounds for this and other strategies to avoid phishing scams.

IE shows a 'page cannot be displayed' but still shows www.paypаl.com/ in the address bar. Firefox goes to the re-direct page, but shows the actual URL. Ya gotta be careful out there. yeeesh
