It wasn't MS that did the test..  Aren't Fire Fox vulnerabilities
those found by 'others' as well ? If the writers knew about them
they wouldn't have left them there, one assumes..

TR>fair enough.. but the noscript extension for FF makes it easier than in

No, not one by one for sites as far as I know..
I just automatically have it off for everything other than
my banking sites, which require Java Script and Cookies.

It's customizable with user added tools if you like as well
as having things like a "Simple Collector" window where you
can drag a link or picture to from a web page and it will
put the picture wherever you've set it up to or give you
the full address of the link without opening it so you can
forward it easily or grab part of it which can let you do
a DL using a DL Manager at sites that don't support them..
One click to start or stop opening a link in a new tab or
not without it closing existing tabs.. things like that..

Like anything, when you use something all the time you
get used to how it works and everything else feels 'odd'..

Plus it becomes a whole big mess..  FF won't use MS Java
so you have to download Sun Java which is 4 or 5 times the
size, etc..

Then, of course, you would want to change your e-mail
client as well and then figure out how to get virus
scanning running for all this new stuff..

It's not a job you'd have fun doing unless you really
needed it for some reason..    B)
