Just realeased and it has a major bug with the XMLHttpRequest Object that lets you call to outside domains. So if you have it saved to remember your password, it can read the contents on a lot of stuff!

Thought you would like to know. (Do not go and say - use Firefox, it has just as many bugs!)

Really? I thought that was just a rumor. Go use Safari then.

I am talking about Firefox has had bugs and not the rumor mill one.

Only good thing about FF/Moz is that they will fix it very fast! They have had some issues in the past, seems like their bugs go a little under the cover since there are no major FF haters as MS haters!

IE7 is actually quite a good advert for Firefox. Not because its rubbish or anything like that (it may be, I haven't tried it yet), but because it has so blatantly copied functionality from Firefox (and Opera etc).

I guess the only original thing that Microsoft has is the art of copying from others software.
