Mozilla will issue security fixes for Firefox 3.5
Thursday, July 2, 2009

Mozilla, which just released the latest version of its Firefox browser on
Tuesday, is already planning to release web security fixes for bugs in
Firefox 3.5, according to Computerworld.com.

The company said it plans to fix at least three bugs and "topcrashes," how
the company refers to bugs that cause the most-reported crashes.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. As if that response in and of itself
is not a troll. You're just another fucking cunt who wants to control
everything.

Thanks... I almost forgot about the Linux "advocate" double-standard (aka -
hypocrisy)

When MS releases bug fixes it's - "Patch Tuesday Shows Windows is Full of
Critical Holes"

But when anything Linux related issues bug fixes it's a sign of how great
and wonderful they are.

When MS do release bug fixes, it is usually for a very small percentage
of known bugs, and mostly ones that are at least several months if not
years old.

What's the difference?

Are you afraid that the truth about the suck factor of Linux
might escape from COLA?

Hint: It already has.

And your evidence for this is what exactly? Sounds to me like your simply

Guess you don't read much. Examples are legendary.

So in other words you have absolutely zero to backup the excuse for your
hypocrisy.

The only thing that's legendary in COLA are the shameless lies, hypocrisy
and double-standards of the freertard "advocates."

I don't have time for your nonsense. If you want a few hundred examples,
take a look - you'll find them. One that leaps immediately to mind was
the boffo in '98 that made the machine shut down after less than a month.
Physically impossible to have 30 days of uptime. MS new about it from the
get-go and never bothered to fix it.
