  2. I tired mozilla firebird. I didn’t know how to install it, it didn’t have that usual
    installer you see with every other browsers.

  3. Not only is mozilla better then IE, but firebird is better then Mozilla. One reason it’s better is it’s a stand alone browser, but since getting my ibook, safari is the browser i have been using.

  5. I want to point out Mozilla and others are still effected by this flaw too. Although they show the full prashing of the url (meaning you notice a weird url). Also this “exploit” is a flaw in the design of prashing in general. The WC3 hopes to address this issue soon.
    Mozilla has yet to fix it. Actually no body has yet to fix it. It’s inherit design of all browsers though MS did think full discloser of phrasing was a bad idea (thus the flaw).

  6. Someone should point out to all those people using IE that not only is Mozilla a better more modern browser, but they are constantly upgrading and improving Mozilla as well. Not only that, but there are the additional benefits of tabbed browsing and pop-up blocking which make it a better browser all around.

  7. d=^_^=b all hail Mozilla & Firebird d=^_^=b
    well anyway to all Happy Chinese New Year, the Year of The Monkey to all
