Firefox 3 bugs

Firefox 3 is only hours old but flaw finders have already located bugs in the browser bairn.

An unspecified flaw that creates a means to inject hostile code onto vulnerable systems affects both Firefox 3 and Firefox 2, TippingPoint warns.

The security tools firm has informed Mozilla and is holding off details of the mystery bug pending the availability of a patch. The vulnerability was submitted to TippingPoint through the vendor's controversial Zero Day Initiative, which provides financial rewards to researchers who discover new flaws, just five hours after the release of Firefox 3.0.

I'm wondering how serious that could turn out to be.

firefox 3 is running much slower than ff2

it's quite snappy on both ubuntu and opensuse10.3

Seems faster to me.

+1

I can def notice that it is very much slower, especially with alot of tabs open and especially if one of those tabs happens to have MIG33 (web version) open and if you're in multiple chat rooms, then the PC just dies!

If you go to the research division's Blog page you will see they are taking SERIOUS flack for announcing this AFTER FF3 shipped. apparently they were aware of this a month ago... but only chose now to speak up.

Why did they wait? To get the cash?

Faster for me! But there should be an update by next week to fix up one or two minor bugs Im sure

Who knows. Not all of these guys are as reputable as we would wish. Remember Firefox is Open Source, so you must needs have some whackos somewhere trying to make their contribution.

It seems a bit faster for me in Windows Vista, but then I don't really browse much Java or Flash code...

 

[The_Unbeliever]

Feels faster for /me on opensuse 10.3, and on windersXP as well.

 

[The_Techie]

Definitely faster for me, especially on the Tukkies site

Couple of days ago, tell me if you find a good black theme.

I'm using Aquatint Black Gloss at the moment

I had Aquatint Black for FF2 but it wouldn't work in FF3, thanks.

/me heads for Google.

The best black theme is the NASA Night Launch. Very nice!

 

[HavocXphere]

FF3.0.0.1 will probably fix a lot of problems cause I think FF3 uptake was ummm above average.

Definitely faster for me, especially on the Tukkies site

Yeah, their nasty Java stuff needed a bit of speed.

 

[JK8]

I got Phoenity Modern, quite nice.
Theres a few black ones, Pitch Dark and Nasa Night Launch.

I agree, what were they thinking?
