Please don't, http://www.betanews.com/article/Newb...cts/1116622534
"Lead Firefox engineer Ben Goodger criticized the slip up, stating, "If security is important to you, this demonstration should show that browsers that are redistributions of the official Mozilla releases are never going to give you security updates as quickly as Mozilla will itself for its supported products," in his personal Web blog.

Goodger encourages Internet users to use Firefox in lieu of Netscape, deeming it a more secure Web browser. To prove his point, Goodger published exploit code demonstrating Netscape's vulnerabilities."

As any browser gains popularity it's vulnerabilities will be exploited. You must always be carefull when browsing the web. It is a shame that the low life mentality of a few disillusioned individuals impacts the usefulness of the internet.

Always check before leaping.

That's the point, however if browser "population" is more evenly spread,
the chances of a specific attack is spread accordingly.
Thus a heterogeneous environment has the potention to be more stable
then a homogeneous one.
To bad that a homogeneous environment has more potention to interoperate
then the heterogeneous. Of course this could be resolved by fully
following standards, but then again it if everybody does that, the
heterogeneous part disappears and by this the potential advantage of
stability. So choose your poison wisely.

If you had read the article carefully, you would have noted that
Netscape updated their download file late Thursday and the current
download has the security risk fixed.

YOUR INFORMATION IS OUT OF DATE!

No - actually my information is not out of date - it is still correct - the
first security patches have been released since the initial release.
Sadly (predictably some would argue) only a short time after the browswer
was released to the public.

Not to mention that is why I pointed to the article... If it can have
defects on day 1... it will have defects on day 500.
Just proving there is no perfect browser... After all, if there was - then
there would have been no point in Netscape still trying in the first place.
