browser security flaws not being addressed
I'm surprised it's taking so long for the mozilla (and opera) folks to
address these security issues, which sound pretty severe, if you're doing
banking and such on line.

The way firefox came out with newspaper adds claiming a more secure
browser gave me the impression they planned on keeping firefox updated
with security patches, as exploits occurred. In fact, they even have a
button in the preferences that let's you check for and install patches.
But, here we are, months after these flaws were revealed and still
nothing. It's the same as $M.
At least, they would have published a notice and let people know to be
cautious in how they go to a site, but nothing.
