Gee, what a surprise, they found a bug in a web browser. How is this validating the 'wait and see' crowd? The vulnerability affects FF2 as well.

Yea way to say the people waiting on the fence win when they have the same bug in FireFox2. It was probably only found withint 5 hours because its the same bug and they tried to make it happen again in a similar fashion.

Mmmm... looks like all the FF fanbooi's will come running to its defense now. Come on all you IE haters, explain why an exploit so old is carried thru to a major version? Sounds like typical "fight for the free world", "Linux loving", "free the computer" hippie nonsense. Face it, poor standards and control are always the downfall of the freedom fighting apps.

Yeah and Microsoft's Outlook Express and IE have that great quality control and have never been a source of virus afflictions and exploits. LOL
It may have bugs in it but at least I don't pay anything for a buggy piece of software.

You know, I didn't realize there were FF haters out there. I guess some people just like to be different.
