So all they have to do is activate the tab that brings up the dialog box. As if the [JavaScript Message Box] title wasn't enough.

make a new post then instead of littering this thread that is labled about Firefox. It's nothing more then a bulliten for the folks here that use it (myself included since I am currently using firefox) now go get a grip

you could easily retitle the thread too, as numerous other browsers suffer from it.

Or Bill, you could just accept your venerable Opera is flawed too. :P

And you might also admit security holes in a browser used by under 10% of surfers are unlikely to be exploited ahead of similar flaws in IE.

Firefox/goat/weasel aint perfect, it's simply the Least Worst.

I have accepted that. This is the sole purpose for currently trying firefox here. and I asked that he make a post for that too, did I not?

Anymore off topic posts will be deleted/edited as I see fit.
