Well, it looks like the popularity of FireFox has made it a decent target for hackers. It had to happen eventually, but I was hoping that it would have waited a few more years. :wink:

You know what, exactly my thoughts...
When a software gets popular, it becomes a must, finding its flaws.
And, as we all know, every software has flaws!
Too bad, but that's the cost of fame.
