Incompatibility Between Firefox and Internet Explorer Causes Security Hole

I give up. People are still not understanding and I've explained it too many times already.

Im not going to crucify IE just because Microsoft made it....I dont belong to the Anti-MS movement.

What do I do n0w ??? Uninstall Firefox and use Opera?

Lock IE right down, dont let it do anything, you should be safe enough from IE then.

No one's asking you to crucify anything. You can simply say, "Hey, it's IE's problem." You don't have to bring an innocent bystander into it. It's okay to bring a flaw to attention. Internet Explorer will forgive you this one time.

All I've gotta say is, I've been using the same PC for over a year with IE (avant browser) and Firefox both, and I have never had any malware on my PC. I scanned my drive once every 2 months. Maybe IE holes aren't as big as many haters say they are. Maybe some people just like to blow things out of proportion and get really mad on the internet - namely, mac users

Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm all pissed off because IE is sploit'in my 100% unaffected OS. :slap:

IE isn't even able to operate on OS X anymore. That really has nothing to do with this, aside from more proof that this is IE's fault and not firefox's.

Shouldnt Mozilla make FireFox in a way that nothing could happen even if it is IEs fault ?
What i mean is that since IE is a part of Windows and Mozilla makes a windows browser they should take everything under account. Am i wrong ?

Thats like making a car that can drive through an intersection thats protected from the semi running the red light :laugh:

Yes, you could stop the car from going through the intersection, but the semi is still going to run the red light.

Thats more like making a car bluetooth kit ( or something like it ) that wont interfere with either one of the cars systems....You cant blame the Car manufacturer for a problem that happened by using an external addon, however you can blame the addon manufacturer for not taking into account every single part of the vehicle. At least thats how i see it.

Woah there, take it easy. You better just delet IE off of your Mac because if you dont, it will cause your Hard Dive to be deleted, your GPU to melt, your CPU to blow up, your Ram to shoot out through the side of the case, and your monitor to shoot lightning bolts at everyone within a 30 foot radius. It happens too 99.99999% of all people who use IE. Darn you microsoft!
