Default Interesting comments on FF

Some of the comments FF users left at FF's website are quite interesting, you have want to have a read: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2572/

On a separate issue, FF and IE were foud to have the same vulnerability in common over here: IE7 and Firefox 2.0 Share Vulnerabilities - Exploits require user interaction - Softpedia

£59.2 million .
Now isn't that a swet figure? Well that is the amount FF made from referrals from search engines. So much for it being the alternative browser

Not if google are funding it they don't Google has more or less managed to pull the entire FF team into the Googleplex, without actually taking them over. I like my lines of demarkation a bit clearer than this

Well, the demarcation line gets blurred now and again but its widely known that FF is really Browser in disguise You even get paid extra in your Adsense account if you promote FF

That's something else. Did you follow the link to the exploit in FF or IE7? It showed the exact contents of my boot.ini file. The way it does it is it extracts certain letters from what you are typing in and only sends the characters c:\boot.ini

Now I'm not that computer smart, so help me out here. How can it cause harm by having someone upload your boot.ini file to their server?
