Another exploit found in FireFox.

[crunchie]

Test your Firefox (or other browser) here.

Keystrokes made whilst using FF can apparently be seen because of this exploit. Change those passwords I would be doing if I used Internet banking with FF.

Nor do I :), but somebody will. All you get in IE and Opera are X's instead of letters and digits.

bump... I wonder how long until the FF zealots will jump in and deny there's a problem because they haven't seen anything using it...

After seeing this, I won´t be doing anything except browsing with FF. But see my post under ¨Why put up with the pain¨ about security. I feel that we should discuss this whole topic in great detail as a group to help all, outside of the different opinions, to put up the proper barricades against the intrusions that are apparently rife...

Maybe someone should put all the appropriate posts into a separate thread?

you guys have me frightened to use any browser. What is the answer?

[Catalana]

I agree that this discussion should be carried forward to help all of us! I am using IE and FF and don´t know what to do about the problem you have found. I hear that IE is full of holes and now that FF has a major flaw, what are we to do?

All that did for me was displayed some of the page code for pages I'd visited. Not a single thing that I'd entered from the keyboard was displayed, no matter how many times I tried.

Hello,

I am a Firefox and Safari user. For some reason, Firefox and Fox news do not get along too well on my Macintosh OS X platform. SO I safari the news page. No big deal to me on that one.

For entering bank numbers and that, you should be checking to see that you have an encrypted connection to the website... look for a little lock symbol on the lower right hand corner of your browser. If you are not "locked" you are transmitting in the clear anyways.

And to the folks asking if there is any sure-fire completely secure system.... there is... it is a formatted computer inside of a concrete bunker with no electrical cords, and a hard drive with a nail going through it. Less sarcastically, any system that is useful to people will ahve some risk. The goal is to limit that risk.
