Re: NOTICE: Firefox users...

Alias,

Jonathan never experiences troubles and conflicts while using Windows Vista.

Oddly, Alias and others that use those third party applications repeatedly
complains wrongly assigning blame toward Vista.

What could possibly be the reason why Alias is filled with complaints?

Who is sooooooooooooo wrong? Could it be Alias?

Review the below information for learning the inherent benefits provided by
Windows Vista.

Internet Explorer Dynamic Security Protection
Through a robust new architecture, Internet Explorer 7 offers multiple,
interrelated security features to help defend your PC against malware
(malicious code or unwanted software, including worms, viruses, adware, and
spyware). Among the browser's dynamic security protections are safeguards to
help make sure your personal information doesn’t fall into the hands of
fraudulent or deceptive websites.
Web browsers perform many functions. They must be open and flexible enough
to handle a mix of website activity while maintaining sufficiently high
security to prevent unwanted data access or application behaviors. Managing
this balance is a top priority for Microsoft.

Together with Windows Defender, the security built into Internet Explorer 7
provides more levels of defense than ever before.

Microsoft has two primary security objectives with Internet Explorer 7:
• Protection against malware
• Personal data safeguards

Protection against malware
Malware, short for malicious software, refers to software applications
designed to damage or disrupt a user’s system. The proliferation of malware
and its impact on security were some of the key driving forces behind the
design features of Internet Explorer 7. The new version has been improved to
reduce the potential for hackers to harm a system by limiting the amount of
damage that can be done if malware is able to find its way onto a user's
system. In addition, Internet Explorer 7 includes several technical features
designed to thwart hackers' efforts to trick you into entering personal data
when you should not. Core parts of the browser's architecture have also been
fortified to better defend against exploitation and improve the way the
browser handles data.

Protected Mode
Available only to people running Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista,
Protected Mode provides new levels of security and data protection for
Windows users. Designed to defend against "elevation of privilege" attacks,
Protected Mode provides the safety of a robust Internet browsing experience
while helping prevent hackers from taking over the system and installing
programs or deleting your information.
In Protected Mode, Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista cannot modify user
or system files and settings without user consent. Protected Mode requires
the user to confirm any activity that tries to put something on your machine
or start another program. By ensuring the user consents to these kinds of
actions, the likelihood of automated and/or unwanted software installation is
reduced. This feature also makes you aware of what a website is trying to do,
giving you a chance to stop it and take time to double check the
trustworthiness of the website.

Can you answer the question on your own or can you only copy and paste
spin that doesn't address the question asked?

Then why did you write this?:

"Mozilla just released security and stability updates to versions of
Firefox. Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 and 1.5.0.10 have been released [1]."

Because Mozilla just released security and stability updates to versions
of Firefox. Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 and 1.5.0.10 have been released.

No Thunderbird. Just Firefox.

Geez, you just got promoted to Captain Boot Licker.
Do you get this worked up over a pair of vise grips?

Speaking of grip, GET one.
It's an OS, it's just a tool, that's all.

I don't know what scarier, your goose stepping DEVOTION to a piece of
software, or the idea that you might actually be having kids.

I really like your tag...

Legacy:
A legacy system is an antiquated computer system or application program
which continues to be used because the user (typically an organization) does
not want to replace or redesign it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy

So, in essence you're saying:

"Windows Vista!! Become Part of the Old Crap!"

freakin priceless

As I said the Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 update had downloaded and after
restart it worked just fine for me without any problems. So YES it says
version 2.0.0.2 under Help then About Mozilla Firefox, and again as I said
it downloaded just fine for me without any problems.
